Judge Questions Secrecy of Trump Memo on Boat Strikes
Original: Judge Questions Secrecy Around Trump Administration’s Memo on Boat Strikes
A federal judge is pressing the Trump administration over its refusal to disclose a Justice Department memo said to justify lethal strikes on suspected drug-trafficking boats. The administration has argued the memo is protected legal advice, but the judge questioned whether such sweeping secrecy can stand, given the strikes have killed people without public explanation of the legal basis.
Why now: Ongoing legal challenge over the Trump administration's lethal boat strikes and its refusal to release the legal justification.
