Overview
- Speaker Mike Johnson said he supports pursuing impeachment over what he called 'egregious abuses,' citing Judge James Boasberg by name and referencing judges he believes exceeded their authority.
- Fox News reported a White House official said the administration supports efforts to impeach 'rogue' judges whom it accuses of issuing partisan rulings.
- Republicans have targeted Boasberg for immigration rulings and for one-year nondisclosure orders that kept telecoms from alerting lawmakers about Arctic Frost subpoenas in Jack Smith’s probe.
- Judge Deborah Boardman is also in GOP crosshairs after sentencing Nicholas (Sophie) Roske to roughly eight years for plotting to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh, far below prosecutors’ request.
- Rep. Brandon Gill filed impeachment articles against Boasberg in March 2025 with 23 co-sponsors, Sen. Ted Cruz urged the House to advance them, and Johnson called impeachment an 'extreme measure' that faces high procedural hurdles.
