US court lets Trump retain control of California National Guard for now

WASHINGTON (Crypto Scope Daily) -A U.S. appeals court let Donald Trump on Thursday retain control over California's National Guard while the state's Democratic governor proceeds with a lawsuit challenging the legality of the Republican president's use of the troops to quell protests and unrest in Los Angeles.

A three-judge panel of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals extended a pause it placed on U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer's June 12 ruling that Trump had called the National Guard into federal service unlawfully.

Breyer's ruling was issued in a lawsuit against Trump's action brought by Governor Gavin Newsom.
