At the end of May, a long-simmering rupture finally spilled into the open when the president took to Truth Social to lambast “sleazebag” Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society, perhaps the most influential political organization so far this century.

Last week, President Donald Trump took many in the legal world by surprise when he attacked the chief architect of his first-term judicial nomination agenda, Leonard Leo, as a “sleazebag” who “probably hates America.”

In the last couple of days, he's been called a "loser" and a "sleazebag" by President Trump, as well as a liar and "scum" by US National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, who appeared to have mistakenly added Goldberg to a group chat earlier this month.

President Trump expressed his support for Hegseth on Wednesday, saying he was "doing a great job" and describing Goldberg as a "sleazebag".

He also referred to Mr Goldberg as a "total sleazebag".
