In a stunning rebuke of judicial overreach, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Monday that the Justice Department has filed a formal misconduct complaint against D.C. Chief Judge James Boasberg for his shocking admission of bias against the Trump administration. The complaint, spearheaded by DOJ Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle, accuses Boasberg of violating the Canons of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges, specifically the requirement that judges “promote public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.”
This bombshell comes after The Federalist obtained a damning memo revealing that Boasberg and other far-left D.C. judges openly discussed their hostility toward President Trump during a March 2025 judicial conference with Chief Justice John Roberts. According to the memo, Boasberg expressed his colleagues’ “concern that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts, leading to a constitutional crisis”—a blatant admission of preemptive bias against the Trump White House.
“A newly revealed memo confirms that at least some federal judges were predisposed against the Trump administration. This is a serious breach of the judicial oath and a threat to the rule of law. Every litigant, regardless of politics, is entitled to a fair forum,” declared Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, condemning the judicial misconduct.
Today at my direction, @TheJusticeDept filed a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg for making improper public comments about President Trump and his Administration.
These comments have undermined the integrity of the judiciary, and we will…

The memo further exposes the judicial coup orchestrated by activist judges like Boasberg, Beryl Howell, Tanya Chutkan, and Amy Berman Jackson—all of whom have systematically ruled against President Trump in cases involving deportations and executive authority. Boasberg, an Obama-appointed radical, has been one of the worst offenders, demanding that deportation flights turn around midair and even threatening Trump officials with criminal contempt for upholding the law.
Judge Boasberg first tried to persuade Chief Justice Roberts and other federal judges that the Trump Administration would not follow court orders, despite having no basis for his belief. Then he acted on his baseless belief again and again in litigation over which he was… https://t.co/PsTAGSwnIp

The liberal media, ever eager to shield the Deep State, has remained conspicuously silent on this scandal. Where are the headlines decrying this brazen judicial bias? Where is the outrage over unelected judges conspiring to undermine a duly elected president? Instead, outlets like CNN and The Washington Post continue to peddle fake narratives while ignoring the real threat to our democracy: a weaponized judiciary.

President Trump, a steadfast defender of the Constitution, has faced unprecedented lawfare from partisan judges and prosecutors. Yet despite the relentless attacks, he remains committed to draining the swamp and restoring faith in America’s institutions. The DOJ’s action against Boasberg is a crucial step toward accountability—but the fight is far from over.
