NEWNow you can listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump lashed out at federal Judge James Boasberg in a Sunday night Truth Social post, accusing him of siding with the GOP and his administration, and saying he should be disbarred from serving in any cases involving them.
In the post, the president described Boasberg as a “Wacky, Bad, Crooked, and Totally Uncontrollable Judge … who suffers from the highest level of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), and has been ‘following’ my people, and me, for years.”
“If it happened after that, Boasberg showed bias and contempt for Republicans and the Trump Administration,” the president said.

“In order to preserve the integrity of the Department of Justice, he should be removed from all cases that affect us, and face severe penalties, as there should be many other corrupt judges, unfortunately, our country has had to endure!” said the president in the post.
“What Boasberg did in the case of ‘Too Late’ Powell, and many others, has nothing to do with the Law, and everything to do with Politics,” the president said, referring to Jerome Powell, chairman of the board of governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Boasberg is the chief judge of the US District Court for the District of Columbia.

“He is exactly what judges should not be! Boasberg would do better to focus on Justice and Justice, not his, and the Democrats’, Political Agenda, which is now LEGENDARY!” Trump asserts.
Fox News Digital reached out to Boasberg’s chambers but was told the judge had no comment.
The president was a frequent and vocal critic of Boasberg.
He filed the report Sunday against Boasberg after a judge’s action last week in a case involving federal appointments to the Federal Reserve Board.
“Therefore, the case asks: Did the prosecutors issue those subpoenas with a proper purpose? The Court finds that they did not. There is a lot of evidence that the purpose of the subpoenas (if not the only one) is to harass and pressure Powell to acquiesce to the President or resign from his position and make the Chairman of the Fed who will agree,” said the opinion.

“On the other side of the scale, the Government did not provide evidence that Powell committed any crime other than to disappoint the President. Therefore, the Court must conclude that the proven reasons for these complaints are just excuses. Therefore, it will grant the Motion of the Quash Board,” said this opinion.
