A federal judge appears likely to side with Harvard in its lawsuit against the Trump administration for stripping $2.6 billion in research funding to the university. During a pivotal hearing on Monday, Judge Allison Burroughs said the constitutional consequences of the administration’s actions could be “staggering.” The Trump administration has claimed Harvard has not done enough to combat antisemitism, but Judge Burroughs called the government claims “mind boggling.” She noted that she is Jewish and questioned the relationship between cutting funding for cancer research and ending antisemitism. Trump reacted to the hearing by attacking the judge, saying she is a ”TOTAL DISASTER.”
