In a blow to the Trump administration, a federal judge has blocked their efforts to defund Planned Parenthood. The judge's ruling comes in response to a lawsuit filed by the organization, which argued that the administration's attempts to cut off funding were unlawful.

This decision marks the latest in a series of legal challenges facing the Trump administration, as federal judges appointed by the president have increasingly clashed with his policies. Just last month, a Trump-appointed judge criticized the Department of Justice for its handling of immigration court cases.

In a separate case, a federal judge has ruled in favor of President Trump's request to unseal grand jury transcripts related to the Epstein case. The decision could shed new light on the controversial plea deal that Epstein received in 2008.

As these legal battles continue to unfold, the relationship between the federal judiciary and the Trump administration remains tense. The outcome of these cases could have far-reaching implications for the administration's policies and priorities.
