Watch Live: Trump holds news conference after Supreme Court limits use of nationwide injunctions

President Trump is holding a news conference at the White House Friday, after what White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called a "HUGE" Supreme Court victory.
The Supreme Court on Friday limited the use of nationwide injunctions by federal judges, a practice that the president and his allies have railed against as blocking or hindering their agenda. In a 6-3 decision that stemmed from the president's executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship, the Supreme Court said universal orders likely exceeded the authority Congress has given the federal courts.
Writing for the majority, Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett said, "When a court concludes that the Executive Branch has acted unlawfully, the answer is not for the court to exceed its power, too."
