Attorney Shant Karnikian breaks down the stunning hypocrisy of Trump’s DOJ suing Southern California Edison for $77 million over the Eaton and Fairview fires—completely contradicting Trump’s own claims that Democratic policies caused California wildfires. He exposes how Trump spent years blaming Gavin Newsom, Jerry Brown, and “bad environmental laws” for fires, tweeting that forest management failures were the “only reason” for massive blazes. Yet his own Justice Department now admits it’s corporate negligence by utility companies that actually ignites these disasters. Karnikian reveals the deeper hypocrisy: Republicans who constantly push tort reform and attack “frivolous lawsuits” suddenly love the civil justice system when the federal government needs to recover taxpayer money. This case proves Trump’s wildfire blame game was pure political theater while his own DOJ validates what trial lawyers have argued all along—utility negligence kills people and destroys communities.
