MAGA Erupts After Judge Who Ruled Against Trump Gets Assigned to War Plans Case
Trump supporters are up in arms after Judge Lewis Kaplan, the same judge who previously ruled against Donald Trump in defamation cases, was assigned to oversee the leaked war plans lawsuit.
Kaplan, a federal judge in New York, has already dealt Trump legal blows, including awarding writer E. Jean Carroll millions in damages after finding Trump liable for defamation. Now, with the war plans case landing on his desk, MAGA loyalists are crying foul, claiming the system is rigged against the former president.
Right-wing commentators and Trump allies flooded social media with outrage, accusing the justice system of targeting Trump unfairly. Some even speculated without evidence that the case assignment was intentional.
Despite the uproar, legal experts point out that case assignments are typically random. However, given Kaplan’s history with Trump, the reaction was predictable. As the lawsuit unfolds, tensions between Trump’s base and the judiciary are sure to escalate even further.
