Excerpt:
The House Judiciary Committee will take early steps to investigate federal judges who have blocked President Donald Trump‘s executive agenda as the president and hard-line House Republicans push for impeachment.
After weeks of House GOP lawmakers and Trump blasting federal judges for blocking executive actions such as illegal immigrant deportations, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) heeded the president’s calls and filed articles of impeachment against James E. Boasberg, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
A handful of other judges face impeachment attempts from House Republicans after ruling against Trump this year, including Judge Paul Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York and Judges Amir Ali and John Bates out of Washington, D.C.
House Republicans could take initial steps on investigating judges as soon as next week when they return to Washington, though an exact time frame has not been established.
