'Of Course It Did: Trump Tantrum Led to Reversal on Law Firm Appeals'
(TPM) "In the madcap world of the Trump II White House, you knew that President Trump had to be the cause of last week’s humiliating DOJ reversal of its appeal in the law firm executive order cases. And now it’s confirmed."
"Within 24 hours, Pam Bondi’s Justice Department went from moving to drop its appeal of the four law firms cases it had lost to telling the appeals court … never mind."
"The reversal came after Trump blew his top upon learning from news reports that the administration would be dropping its appeals, according to the Wall Street Journal."
“ "I never signed off on that,' the WSJ quotes the president as saying in an Oval Office outburst over his displeasure with DOJ leaders."
"Trump then directed White House officials to tell the Justice Department to reverse itself, which White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed: 'At the president’s direction, the Department of Justice quickly amended this filing.' "
