Trump then took aim at Leonard Leo, a chairman on the Federalist Society's board of directors. Trump said that he used the conservative legal organization to pick out judges when he was "new to Washington."
"It was suggested that I use The Federalist Society as a recommending source on Judges," Trump wrote.
"I did so, openly and freely, but then realized that they were under the thumb of a real ‘sleazebag’ named Leonard Leo, a bad person who, in his own way, probably hates America, and obviously has his own separate ambitions."
Trump added that he was "so disappointed" in the Federalist Society "because of the bad advice they gave me on numerous Judicial Nominations."
