Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., has called for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, accusing him of authorizing politically motivated subpoenas that targeted Republican senators and allies of former President Donald Trump. Speaking on Newsmax, Donalds claimed Boasberg’s actions represented a severe violation of judicial integrity, surpassing even the Watergate scandal of the 1970s. “Judge Boasberg overstepped his bounds issuing these subpoenas,” Donalds stated, calling the effort a “wide-scale fishing expedition” to suppress Republican influence ahead of the 2024 elections. He alleged that federal agencies under former President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland improperly obtained records from sitting senators, violating federal law and reflecting a “political plot to stop Donald Trump.” Donalds supported a House-led investigation into Boasberg’s actions, noting Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, is leading the effort, and mentioned discussions with Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., to coordinate oversight. He framed impeachment as essential to restoring trust in the justice system.
