Impeaching James E. Boasberg, United States District Court Chief Judge for the District of Columbia, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
HRES 858 is a resolution by the U.S. House of Representatives to impeach Chief Judge James E. Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. It alleges he abused his authority by issuing "frivolous" nondisclosure orders that prevented Members of Congress from being notified of legal process and covered conservative organizations and individuals. These orders, the resolution claims, violated constitutional protections for Congress and a federal law (2 U.S.C. § 6628) safeguarding Senate communications. The resolution would send the impeachment charge to the U.S. Senate for trial, seeking removal from office.
