Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is set to warn lawmakers about a “potential judicial coup d’état” during a congressional hearing on Tuesday, according to prepared remarks obtained by The Daily Wire.
Gingrich will testify at a joint hearing of two House Judiciary Committee subcommittees on what he sees as federal judicial overreach. He will focus on court orders that have blocked key parts of President Donald Trump’s agenda—from firing probationary employees to deporting suspected gang members.
“There is clearly a potential constitutional crisis involving the Judicial Branch’s effort to fully override the Legislative and Executive branches,” Gingrich’s remarks read. “Fifteen District Judges effectively seized control of various Executive Branch duties in the first six weeks of the current presidency through nationwide injunctions. This is potentially a judicial coup d’état. It clearly violates the Constitution and more than 200 years of American history.”
Gingrich will appear alongside Heritage Foundation Legal Scholar Paul Larkin and Tren de Aragua victim Cindy Romero during the hearing.
