The federal judge who blocked President Donald Trump's border wall plans in a ruling on Friday previously donated nearly $30,000 to former President Barack Obama, political action committees, and Democrats.

 

What are the details?

U.S. District Court Judge Haywood Gilliam — who was confirmed to the bench in 2014 after being appointed by Obama — donated $6,900 to Obama's 2008 campaign and $14,500 to Obama's re-election efforts, federal election records show.

Additionally, records indicate Gilliam donated $4,500 to the Democratic National Committee in 2012 and sent $3,100 to the Covington Burling LLP PAC, a political action committee that supports Republican and Democratic political candidates, according to The Washington Examiner.

Gilliam made the donations before he was confirmed to the court.
