Former Attorney General Bill Barr slams Gov. Gavin Newsom’s lawsuit over Trump’s National Guard deployment, calling the claims ‘nonsense.'

A hearing is scheduled today in San Francisco for a legal challenge Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed against Trump.

California Governor Gavin Newsom delivered a prime-time speech Tuesday condemning President Trump's deployment of military forces to Los Angeles. The governor characterized the federal intervention as part of a broader assault on American democratic institutions.

The Justice Department claims California's request to limit the federal response to violent riots in Los Angeles would "countermand" the president's lawful military directives.

Impact Social data shared with Newsweek showed a plurality—32 percent—of swing voters are responding positively to Trump's response, while 19 percent are responding negatively. Forty-nine percent are responding neutrally to Trump's approach, sharing mostly "emotionless" reaction or news articles about the protests.

A hearing is set for later today on an emergency motion filed by California Governor Gavin Newsom to block President Trump's deployment of troops to Los Angeles.
