"Unrelenting Legal Battles: Trump's Post-Presidency Faces Continued Judicial Scrutiny"
Trump on Trial
About
It’s Wednesday, October 8th, 2025, late morning, and for those following Donald Trump’s latest legal battles, the pace has barely slowed. If you’ve been glued to the news these past few days, courtrooms from California all the way to Washington, D.C. have seen Trump’s lawyers and prosecutors trading volleys over his actions as president and well into his post-presidency.
The big headline out west came from California, where a federal judge issued a strongly worded ruling against Donald Trump after his attempt to deploy the California National Guard into Oregon. According to the governor’s office, the judge—ironically appointed by Trump himself—rebuked the idea that a president could override state authority this way, reminding all parties that the “historical tradition boils down to a simple proposition: this is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law.” In her order, she found the Trump administration’s arguments “simply untethered to the facts” and declared that statements justifying the deployments “were not conceived in good faith.” That resulted in a direct rebuke to Trump’s approach and another layer of judicial reinforcement of state rights.
Meanwhile, on the federal front, the Supreme Court’s October term is shaping up to be a blockbuster for Trump-related litigation. SCOTUSblog reported on Monday that the justices added five new cases to their docket for the 2025-26 term. While the full list hasn’t dropped yet, legal analysts expect at least one to touch directly on former President Trump’s use and possible abuse of executive powers—Marc Elias and Neal Katyal have both appeared on cable news speculating about how these cases could clarify ambiguous boundaries around presidential immunity and what’s meant by “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
Lawfare’s Litigation Tracker, which has become almost a reference Bible for the ‘Trump trial industrial complex,’ continues to log new lawsuits and appeals nearly every week. National security-related executive actions, especially around border policy and federal troop deployment, remain hotly contested in district and appellate courts. Just yesterday, reporters in D.C. spotted Trump’s legal team in the courthouse, trying to negotiate further delays by arguing that the core issues have ‘never before been tested by the courts.’ That’s turned the federal judiciary into an arena not just for Trump’s legal future but also for the broader definition of presidential power in America.
If you think the story’s about to wind down, think again. With upcoming hearings and new filings announced daily, this remains the most scrutinized courtroom saga in modern history.
