A US judge is suspended for six months without pay after making derogatory comments about President Donald Trump
A US judge has been suspended for six months without pay after making derogatory comments about Donald Trump, including criticising his "inability to govern and political incompetence."
"Judge Kwan's behaviour denigrates his reputation as an impartial, independent, dignified, and courteous jurist who takes no advantage of the office in which he serves," the court said in a 19-page opinion. In one posting on January 20, 2017, when Trump was inaugurated president, Kwan wrote: "Welcome to governing.
On another occasion while presiding over a hearing, Kwan got into an exchange with a defendant in which he appeared to criticise Trump's immigration and tax policies, the court said.
