Overview
- Rep. Brandon Gill introduced a single article charging abuse of power for Judge James Boasberg’s authorization of nondisclosure orders in support of Arctic Frost subpoenas.
- Redacted documents released by Sen. Chuck Grassley show subpoenas for phone records of 10 senators and one House member and gag orders to AT&T and Verizon, with Verizon complying and AT&T declining.
- The contested orders were issued under the Stored Communications Act, and key materials Boasberg reviewed remain classified or heavily redacted.
- Republican lawmakers including Sens. Ted Cruz, Bill Hagerty, and Eric Schmitt have urged impeachment, while legal scholars such as Jonathan Turley argue the conduct does not meet constitutional impeachment standards.
- The resolution has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee, and any removal would require House adoption followed by a two‑thirds Senate conviction.
