A federal judge has ordered the White House to reinstall sign language interpreters at press briefings to avoid “imminent harm” to deaf Americans being denied vital information.
The Trump administration axed ASL interpreters in January. Their job is to translate speeches in real time, including those by President Trump and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, to make them accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing people.
However, it appears Trump, 79, did not like the idea of “sharing a platform” with interpreters, according to the judge’s findings.
