President Donald Trump is entering his second term facing a starkly different judicial landscape after transforming the federal judiciary in his first term — but with no less ambition to leave his mark.

Then, on Tuesday, he raised the number to five with the announcement of three federal district court nominees for the state of Missouri and a nominee to the Superior Court for the District of Columbia.
