Kaitlan Collins from CNN warns that just three weeks into Donald Trump's second presidency, the U.S. is nearing a constitutional crisis. A federal judge has accused the Trump administration of defying orders relating to federal spending, marking a significant tension between the Trump administration and the judiciary. Prominent Democrats and constitutional scholars express concern over the implications of these defiance actions. The Trump administration argues its authority over federal operations, with some allies criticizing the judiciary's role in this governance dispute.
We are three weeks into the second Trump presidency. Three weeks. And tonight, there are warnings that the U.S. is dangerously close to a constitutional crisis.
The first shoe on this dropped when a federal judge today said the White House is defying his order to unfreeze billions of dollars in federal aid.
This all has prominent Democrats, and many of the nation's top constitutional scholars, declaring that the U.S. is on the brink of a reckoning.
The Trump Justice Department says the President should have the authority to decide how to run the government, and that these judges are over-reaching.
