When Donald Trump tweeted in July that trans people were suddenly banned from the military, he claimed he made his decision in “consultation with my Generals and military experts.” Now a judge — presiding over a legal challenge to the military ban — is demanding to know who exactly those experts are.
Washington State-based U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman gave the Justice Department until 8 p.m. Eastern to provide the names of those who helped Trump devise his ban, reports the Washington Blade. The Justice Department, defending Trump’s ban, previously argued that information was subject to executive privilege, but Pechman disagreed.
