House Republicans plan to introduce articles of impeachment for at least two federal judges who blocked President Trump’s attempts to overturn the federal government.

Why it matters: These measures are part a growing public dispute between Republicans and federal judiciary, as Trump snarls at obstacles to his agenda of “government efficiency”.

Trump raised the heat this week when he said at a DOGE news briefing in the Oval Office with DOGE chief Elon Musk, “Maybe we need to look at judges because I believe that’s a serious violation.”

Vice President J.D. Vance also said that federal judges had overstepped their authority, and “weren’t allowed control the executive’s legitim power.”

1776 Coalition Sponsored George Soros’ Goons came to my District George Soros sent his goons into my district to hold a fake townhall meeting. This is Rep. Jack Bergman. They didn’t invite me, but they used an empty chair as a prop while they attacked my support for DOGE and America First policies. If you’re tired of Soros-funded leftists attempting to sabotage America’s future, then please help me keep up the fight in Congress.

Clyde’s office confirmed that Axios that Clyde is currently working on articles to impeach U.S. district court judge John J. McConnell Jr. who ordered the federal spending freeze to be lifted by the Obama administration.

Clyde, in a recent post on X, called McConnell a partisan activist who “was weaponizing our judicial systems to stop President Trump’s funding freeze for woke and wasteful spending by the government.”

Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., has announced that he intends to impeach District Court Judge Paul Engelmayer for blocking DOGE’s access to Treasury records.

Requests for comments were not immediately responded to by the Rhode Island Southern District Courts, McConnell and Engelmayer respectively.

Clyde and Crane need a majority in the House in order to impeach them, and a two-thirds majority in the Senate in order to convict. Only 53 Senate Republicans are in the Senate.

Rarely, a judge can be impeached for serious crimes such as perjury, corruption or criminal conduct.

The last successful impeachment was of a federal judge in 2010, and it involved false financial disclosures.
