Donald Trump announced a new list Wednesday of people he intends to consider for future vacancies on the U.S. Supreme Court, moving to fire up his conservative base hours after journalist Bob Woodward revealed that the president intentionally downplayed the threat of the coronavirus.
“Apart from matters of war and peace, the nomination of a Supreme Court justice is the most important decision an American president can make,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “For this reason, candidates for president owe the American people a specific list of individuals they consider for the United States Supreme Court.”
