Texas GOP Representative Brandon Gill introduced articles of impeachment on Tuesday against Chief Judge James E. Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This action follows Judge Boasberg’s approval of secretive subpoenas linked to the Biden Justice Department’s “Arctic Frost” probe<\/a> — a sweeping inquiry that conservative leaders have exposed as a politically driven campaign targeting Trump allies and Republican lawmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impeachment is a constitutional power of Congress, not a “government service” that can be shut down. The House can introduce, debate, and vote on articles of impeachment at any time, government shutdown or not \u2014 since members of Congress and their core constitutional duties are exempt from shutdown rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Chief Judge Boasberg has compromised the impartiality of the judiciary and created a constitutional crisis. He is shamelessly weaponizing his power against his political opponents, including Republican members of Congress who are faithfully serving the American people within their jurisdiction,” Gill told Fox News Digital.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Republican senators recently issued a slew of complaints against the judge this week after it was revealed that he had signed off on subpoenas and gag orders issued as part of the dubious investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gill\u2018s (R-Texas) single-article resolution accuses Boasberg of abusing his power by greenlighting nondisclosure orders — commonly known as “gag orders” — that purportedly violated congressional privileges and the separation of powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
