Federal judges will stress that they’re not bound to the presidents who appointed them or party politics. How often political connections translate into courtroom victories for Trump remains to be seen. He put four judges from that court, including three of his own nominees, on his public lists of potential Supreme Court telegraphing their standing within the conservative legal world.
Trump nominated six of the 11 active judges on the circuit. The Justice Department is challenging the special master appointment before the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals. Trump originally filed his petition in the south Florida federal district court, where a third of the court’s 15 active judges were confirmed under his administration. More than half of the active judges on the federal appeals court poised to hear the latest phase of Trump’s fight with the Justice Department over the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago home got their posts through Trump’s aggressive remaking of the US judiciary.įrom the start, his push for a special master to review the records seized as part of a criminal investigation into whether he mishandled classified information highlighted the lasting imprint of his one-term presidency. As former President Donald Trump’s legal entanglements wind their way through the federal courts, he continues to face strong odds of landing before a judge he appointed.
