’60 Minutes’ Report Exposes Shocking Threats Against Judges Who Defied Trump
Judges report a surge in threats including death threats and harassment, linked to rulings against Trump and fueled by political rhetoric and hardcore MAGA supporters.
- Sunday’s broadcast on March 1 revealed 60 Minutes aired an explosive segment exposing threats against federal judges, with 26 judges interviewed, including nine appointed by Democrats and 17 by Republicans.
- Judges and commentators linked the recent surge in hostility to political attacks, noting judges had not seen this level of threats in the last year, including public criticism from President Trump.
- Investigations found that threats included hundreds of unsolicited pizzas sent to judges' homes, with at least 20 ordered using Judge Esther Salas's late son's name, alongside bomb threats and false murder reports that prompted five sheriff's deputies to visit a judge's residence.
- Coughenour and others reported that attackers are `weaponizing` Daniel's name to inflict fear on judges, including a bomb threat and threats targeting officials who ruled against the president.
- Following an internal controversy at CBS, fears emerged that CBS News editor-in-chief reshaped 60 Minutes after pulling the December El Salvador mega-prison CECOT report.
