US EditionTed Cruz Urges House to Impeach Judges Boasberg and Boardman
Senators led by Ted Cruz accuse Judges Boasberg and Boardman of abusing authority, urging House to act on impeachment articles amid GOP claims of judicial misconduct.
- On Wednesday, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, sent a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson urging the House to advance impeachment articles against Judges James Boasberg and Deborah Boardman and chaired a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on their conduct.

- Sen. Cruz declared 'Both of these judges, I believe, meet the standard for impeachment and for conviction and removal from office,' while both were appointed by former President Barack Obama and former President Joe Biden.
- Articles of impeachment naming both Boasberg and Boardman have been introduced in the Republican-controlled House but no votes have yet occurred, and conviction would require a two-thirds majority in the U.S. Senate where Republicans hold 53 seats and need 14 Democrats, making removal unlikely.
- Democrats called the effort a 'MAGA-coordinated strategy' targeting Judge James Boasberg, noting his rulings against the Trump administration and urging focus on Justice Clarence Thomas's ethics instead.
