About this episode
President Trump's administration is facing numerous legal challenges to their executive orders, with the end to birthright citizenship, a freeze on federal funding, and others that are currently tied up in the courts. FOX News Contributor, attorney Andrew McCarthy, joins the Rundown to discuss the legal background behind some of the court cases and why he feels that the Trump administration has strong chances of legal victory in most instances. Later, Special Counsel to President Trump, Alina Habba, joins to share her thoughts on “activist judges” and the actions that President Trump has signed off on so far. Earlier this week, President Donald Trump directed the US Treasury Department to stop minting new pennies. The one-cent coin costs nearly four cents to produce, and the US Mint reported they lost $85.3 million last year producing pennies. In 2023, Congress proposed legislation to alter the coin's composition to cut costs. Former Director of the United States Mint, Philip Diehl, joins to discuss how getting rid of the penny will impact the American economy and what this will look like. Plus, commentary from FOX News contributor Joe Concha. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
