#RachelMaddow addressed the question that many lawyers assigned to defend President Trump and his administration in court are facing right now: Trump or the truth?

“For weeks now, we have seen this pattern emerging,” the “Rachel Maddow Show” host observed on Thursday night. “You’ve got lawyers representing the #Trump administration who are being forced effectively to present arguments that either aren’t truthful or don’t make sense in court.” This pattern has resulted, Maddow noted, in “Trump administration lawyers basically being thumbtacked to the back wall of the courtroom by one judge after another.”

The Trump administration has been forced multiple times since it took office in January to defend its actions and executive orders in federal court. More often than not, Maddow said, this has put their legal defenders in a difficult position. “You have to be truthful to a judge. You have to be truthful to the court,” she explained. “But being truthful in this administration is seen as a betrayal of Donald Trump. So what are these lawyers supposed to do?”
