Out front next, the breaking news, Trump's plans to upend the federal government halted by two federal judges tonight, as his closest allies suggest judges are their next targets.

Plus, with friends like Trump, who needs enemies, I mean, hear what the president says when he's asked if J.D. V.P. is his successor, whether he'd even endorse him in

2008. And he's taking on Musk in court so far he's been winning. One of the nation's top

attorneys general is my guest tonight. Let's go out front. And good evening. I'm Aaron Burnett.

Now, at front tonight, we begin with the breaking news. Three judges taking on Trump tonight. The president facing four major blows today in federal court again and again. The headlines today read the same. Judges stopping Trump's attempts to upend the government. First, there was Trump's plan to slash the federal workforce by midnight tonight. That has been halted yet again,

a federal judge saying he needs more time to decide whether to allow Elon Musk inspired so-called

buyouts to two million federal workers to proceed. Next, in Massachusetts, a federal judge there,

pausing cuts that Trump made to funding public health research. That was $4 billion in cuts for everything from curing cancer to addressing chronic health conditions,

including diabetes and heart disease. That put on pause.

In Rhode Island, third, a federal judge accusing Trump's administration of disregarding prior court order

to unfreeze billions of dollars in federal aid.

And of course, the day is not even over yet.

Thanks coming literally just a few minutes here before we came to air.

Today's judges joining a long line of judges who do not believe that Trump is following the law

in this swirl of executive orders and mandates, at least 10 judges, have stopped what Trump is doing

or has been trying to do in the past three weeks.

And therefore, it may not surprise you to know

that Team Trump is making it clear

that their next targets are going to be the judges themselves.

judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power.
