House Republican Files Impeachment Articles Against Judge Boasberg Over Arctic Frost Orders

The move challenges Boasberg's approval of secrecy orders in the Arctic Frost probe affecting sitting lawmakers.

Overview

  • Rep. Brandon Gill filed articles of impeachment accusing U.S. District Judge James Boasberg of abuse of power tied to nondisclosure orders in the Arctic Frost investigation.
  • The filing cites redacted materials released by Sen. Chuck Grassley showing subpoenas for phone records of 10 senators and one House member and secrecy directives to major carriers.
  • Documents reported by multiple outlets attribute both the subpoenas and gag orders to Boasberg, while much of the underlying evidence remains classified or heavily redacted.
  • Carrier responses diverged, with Verizon complying with nondisclosure orders and AT&T reportedly refusing, highlighting legal and procedural disputes over such approvals.
  • Several Republicans, including Reps. Eli Crane, Byron Donalds, and Andy Biggs, voiced support for the effort, while no formal House or Senate action beyond the filing has occurred.
