Live updates: Court throws up latest roadblock to Trump's policy agenda
A ruling Wednesday that most of President Donald Trump's tariffs are illegal was the latest roadblock courts have placed in the way of a sweeping second-term agenda that has been fueled largely by executive actions. Judges have also halted, at least temporarily, efforts by Trump to deport migrants without due process and to dismantle some government agencies, including the Education Department, as well as to punish law firms and Harvard University. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is certain to field questions on the tariffs ruling at a news briefing Thursday afternoon. A top House Democrat on Wednesday night opened a probe into the private dinner that President Donald Trump hosted for top investors in his meme coin, seeking to highlight the ethical and legal concerns raised by the president's willingness to profit while in office. Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, demanded that Trump turn over the names of the guests who attended last week's gala after pouring millions of dollars into the president's crypto venture. Elon Musk, a key adviser to President Donald Trump who oversaw the U.S. DOGE Service, said Wednesday that he is leaving the administration after leading a contentious effort to reshape the federal bureaucracy and slash government spending. A specialized federal court in New York on Wednesday ruled that most of President Donald Trump's tariffs — including those on Chinese goods — are illegal, upending negotiations with more than a dozen nations and creating fresh uncertainty for countless American businesses that depend upon foreign suppliers. President Donald Trump on Wednesday pardoned a former Army officer who was found guilty in 2022 by a military judge of violating coronavirus prevention protocols, a White House official who was not authorized to speak publicly confirmed to The Washington Post.
