JUST IN: Obama Judge Rules Trump Illegally Blocked Billions of Dollars to Harvard University

A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that the Trump Administration violated the law when it blocked Harvard University from $2 billion in federal grants because of the school’s handling of antisemitism on campus. US District Allison Burroughs, an Obama appointee, said Trump violated Harvard’s First Amendment rights when it froze $ 2 billion in federal grants earlier this year. Judge Burroughs said the Trump Administration used antisemitism on Harvard’s campus as a “smokescreen for targeted, ideologically-motivated assault” on the country’s premier university.
