A top adviser to President Donald Trump says federal judges trying to stop the America First agenda are now “completely out of control” and are “basically usurping the power of the president.”
The remarks by Kari Lake, U.S. Agency for Global Media senior adviser and former Arizona gubernatorial candidate, came on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel.
“The president has Article II powers to run the executive branch of this government and we’re seeing a whole handful of judges trying to stop that and really subvert the will of the people,” Lake said.
“The beautiful thing about President Trump is he wants to come in and bring this government under control.”
Lake added she doesn’t think the obstructions will work in the end.
“I believe that eventually, these cases will move higher up and President Trump will be victorious, but unfortunately, it’s the delay that’s prevent the work from being done.”
“I wish we could just skip right over and get to the Supreme Court and get this taken care of. Because in many of these cases, you’ve got Soros-linked attorneys who are just trying to make some money and delay the president’s agenda.
“And you’ve got judges who, in many cases, may be compromised. We’re seeing some of this around the country. Why are they doing this? And so, I think it will eventually get to the Supreme Court.
WATCH:
“My concern and I believe the concern of the American people is the delay and the time that is ticking away, keeping President Trump, keeping people like me that he has brought in and hired to do our job and it’s very concerning that judges are behaving this way. I would rather follow the Constitution than a judge who’s got an agenda.”
When asked about a Wisconsin judge arrested this week for allegedly trying to thwart federal immigration officials by helping an illegal alien avoid capture, Lake responded, “If you break the law, you end up being charged. If you break the law, you end up in handcuffs, and it appears that this judge broke the law.”
“We’re making sure that law is applied here. Doesn’t matter if you’re a judge or if you’re a regular, everyday person. And so I think if she broke the law, if what is said about what happened, what transpired in that courthouse is true, then she deserves to be, frankly, in handcuffs. … She will get her due process and we will figure out what happened.”
“It’s appalling that a judge would try to harbor or protect an illegal immigrant,” Lake added. “The victim that he allegedly abused was right there in the courtroom, and she’s trying to protect the abuser and the illegal immigrant.”
Lake concluded: “It’s unbelievable what’s happening in this country right now, and this is just an attempt, in my opinion, to stop President Trump and his America First agenda that the people overwhelmingly voted for. Thankfully the president has brought in some really good fighters to D.C., people who don’t want to become permanent creatures. I’m just as happy to DOGE myself out of a job, and go on and help President Trump in another way. But he’s brought in people who want to get the job done. And these judges are trying to stop its from getting the job done.”
“In the end we will prevail. It’s gonna take a little bit of time, and it’s unfortunate these judges don’t care more about America and the will of the American people.”
