'Very Ugly': Federal Judge Who Defied Trump Tells 60 Minutes He's Never Encountered Vitriol Like MAGA Fury [View all]

Federal Judge John Coughenour — who ruled against President Donald Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship — told 60 Minutes Sunday that he has never encountered vitriol and threats to his life as he has from MAGA adherents.

In his introduction, CBS News’s Bill Whitaker said he spoke with 26 federal judges for his story — “nine Democratic appointees, 17 Republican, both sitting and retired.”

Coughenour, a Reagan appointee, was one of the few who talked on the record.

After Coughenour ruled Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship to be “blatantly unconstitutional,” the judge said the threats started pouring in.
