Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, told more than one senator he was dismayed about the president’s attacks on the judiciary and encouraged Senator Richard Blumenthal to make the criticisms public, lawmakers said Thursday.
“Americans dislike bullies and President Trump is acting like a bully” against the judiciary, Blumenthal told MSNBC after Trump said in a Twitter post that the Connecticut Democrat misrepresented what Gorsuch said during their meeting.
