Impeaching John James McConnell Jr., Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution impeaches Chief Judge John James McConnell Jr. of the U.S. District Court for Rhode Island for alleged misconduct related to his handling of *State of New York v. Donald J. Trump*. The House claims he abused his position by making public comments expressing political bias (including comparing Trump’s presidency to the Civil War) and by failing to recuse himself from the Trump case while serving on the board of Crossroads Rhode Island - a nonprofit receiving over $2.8 million in state funds from Rhode Island, which was a plaintiff in the case. The resolution alleges these actions violated judicial ethics and federal law requiring impartiality. If approved, the resolution would send the impeachment articles to the Senate for trial.
