MURPHY STATEMENT ON SUPREME COURT DECISION IN TRUMP v. SLAUGHTER
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) issued the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. Slaughter:
“The Supreme Court has become a willing partner in President Trump’s authoritarian power grab. First, they granted Trump blanket immunity from any crimes he commits in office, and now they’ve given him complete control over our federal government without any checks and balances. The results are completely predictable: Donald Trump is going to install his henchmen at every independent agency we have and put them to work in his administration’s unending campaign of corruption and retribution.”
