House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Wednesday he supports impeachment efforts against two federal judges, citing what he called “egregious abuses” and judicial overreach aimed at President Donald Trump and executive authority, The Hill reported.
At a press conference, Johnson was asked about calls from Republicans to move forward with impeachment articles against U.S. District Judge James Boasberg of the District of Columbia and U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman of Maryland.
“Impeachment … is an extreme measure. But extreme times call for extreme measures,” Johnson said.
“I think some of these judges have gotten so far outside the bounds of where they’re supposed to operate, it would not be, in my view, a bad thing for Congress to lay down law, so to speak, and, you know, to make an example of some of these egregious abuses.”
