A big reason why the Trump Justice Department has lost the credibility that federal prosecutors traditionally maintain with the federal courts is its penchant for distorting judicial rulings. Case in point: Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s crowing on Thursday over a D.C. Circuit action in Anthropic’s lawsuit against the Defense Department.
As is standard DOJ malpractice in the Trump II era, Blanche took to X to opine on a pending case. He claimed that the circuit had issued a “stay allowing the government to designate Anthropic as a supply chain risk,” framing this court action as “a resounding victory for military readiness.”
