"Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is facing a tricky path forward as President Trump and Elon Musk publicly — and persistently — push for the impeachment of the judge who directed flights carrying Venezuelan migrants to be turned around.
"Trump ignited a controversial campaign this week when he said U.S. District Judge James Boasberg — whom he dubbed a “troublemaker and agitator” — should be impeached, which Musk and other Republican lawmakers joined in on. Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) quickly heeded the president’s calls, introducing an article of impeachment against Boasberg that charges him with “abuse of power.”
"The push, to be sure, has virtually no chance of success, with a number of House moderates casting doubt on the idea, and a supermajority — 67 votes — needed to approve the effort in the Senate. At least 14 Democrats would have to join all Republicans in supporting conviction." . . .
Trump blasts ‘highly conflicted’ Obama-appointed judge James Boasberg after selecting another case involving his admin "President Donald Trump blasted the “highly conflicted” district court judge he says is taking all the cases against the White House for himself while calling for an investigation into the “rigged system.”
"Trump argued that Obama-appointed DC District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg — who blocked Venezuelan deportation flights — isn’t following regulations set by the judicial branch as several senior Trump officials were sued for the Signal message leaks.
“How disgraceful is it that ‘Judge’ James Boasberg has just been given a fourth ‘Trump Case,’ something which is, statistically, IMPOSSIBLE,” the 47th president wrote on Truth Social." . . .
