White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was fact-checked by a reporter during a press briefing after falsely stating that "Democrat activist" judge obstructing President Donald Trump's agenda was appointed by former President Barack Obama.
During a press briefing at the White House on Wednesday, Leavitt was asked about Trump's attempt to impeach federal Judge James Boasberg, who temporarily paused Trump's deportation of migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. She proceeded to criticize Boasberg, referring to the judge as a "Democrat activist" appointed by Obama.
