It has become increasingly clear in the past few weeks that Donald Trump sees the judicial system as the final frontier in gaining full control of the U.S. government without much pushback. In many ways, the walls are already closing in on the Trump administration, but they just secured a major win after ending a months-long confrontation with federal judges in New Jersey over the top federal prosecutor.
Trump has recently been facing criticism for suggesting that some Supreme Court justices should show more gratitude to him in their rulings because he was the one who nominated them. So it comes as no surprise that his Department of Justice wanted the top prosecutor to be someone aligned with MAGA values too.
