White House Officials Told the DOJ to Delay Action on Abortion Ahead of the Midterms
Multiple sources say White House officials told anti-abortion leaders action on abortion policy would wait until after the election, while the administration denies the report.
- On Friday, The Sun reported that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles directed the Justice Department to delay abortion-related actions until after November's midterm elections, though the White House denied the report as "completely false."
- Anti-Abortion groups have pressured the administration to enforce the 1873 Comstock Act, a law potentially banning the mailing of abortion drugs, while Attorney General Todd Blanche previously vowed to review legal opinions regarding the act's enforcement.
- During recent oral arguments in Louisiana v. FDA, 5th Circuit judges pressed the Justice Department to state its position on mifepristone; the department asked courts to pause lawsuits while the Food and Drug Administration reviews the drug.
- Conservative leaders claim they have heard from various agencies that action is delayed until after the election; Tom McClusky of CatholicVote said he heard "the same thing from every agency I talk to and from members of Congress."
- While President Donald Trump pledged not to "block" abortion drug access during his 2024 campaign, he faces pressure from anti-abortion groups demanding stricter policies, creating tension as the administration seeks to avoid electoral fallout before November.
