President Trump's impeachment attack on Judge Boasberg undermines Trump's political interests, the Constitution, and the healthy rule of law.

In his 14 years on the federal bench, James “Jeb” Boasberg has resolved secret grand jury disputes that arose during the special counsel investigations into Trump, oversaw improvements after the Trump-Russia investigation in how the Justice Department conducts national security surveillance and handled his share of sentencings for rioters who stormed the U.

U.S. District Judge James "Jeb" Boasberg, an appointee of Democratic former President Barack Obama, is a central player in an unfolding conflict between the White House and the U.S. judicial system, which is handling dozens of cases that challenge the Trump administration's actions.
