Former Trump Lawyer Criticizes White House Press Secretary

On May 29, 2025, former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb sharply criticized Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt during a CNN interview about the administration's tariff policies and court rulings.
Cobb's remarks followed a recent U.S. Court of International Trade decision blocking Trump’s sweeping tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which the administration appealed.
Leavitt responded at a White House briefing by accusing the judges of abusing judicial power and undermining U.S. Credibility, calling their ruling a "seismic" threat to presidential authority.
Cobb mocked Leavitt with the nickname "creepy Karoline," doubting her expertise and impact, and asserted that she is generally not regarded as credible or authoritative by the public on important issues.
The clash highlights ongoing tensions over Trump’s trade agenda, judicial limits on presidential power, and internal White House communications amid sustained legal and political challenges.
