Donald Trump has criticized US District Judge Allison Burroughs for her handling of Harvard University’s lawsuit to reinstate billions of dollars in federal funding, describing her as a “TOTAL DISASTER.” Trump called Burroughs an “automatic ‘loss’ for the People of our Country” in a post on Truth Social. Harvard’s lawyers appeared in federal court to restore over $2 billion in funding frozen by the White House earlier this year. Trump claimed Burroughs had “systematically taken over” Harvard cases and that she had temporarily blocked the US government’s plan to bar the university from enrolling international students. Trump also threatened to cut government money intended for Harvard, stating that the university is anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, and anti-America. Trump’s actions come a few weeks after his administration stepped up pressure on Harvard by notifying the government’s accreditation agency that the Ivy League institution violated federal anti-discrimination laws. Trump’s attacks on Harvard form part of his broader clampdown on elite universities, which he promised to carry out during the campaign trail.
