BURSTPresident Trump on Monday leveled another attack against the judge overseeing a case involving deportation flights, comparing him to a New York jurist who handled Trump’s hush money case.
Trump shared a report from media outlet Just The News that outlined how U.S. District Judge James Boasberg attended a legal conference in Idaho last year with other judges appointed by both Democrats and Republicans.
The report alleged that some of the speakers and sponsors of the conference were hostile toward Trump’s immigration agenda.
“This Judge is almost as conflicted (actually, not even close!) as the Judge whose daughter made Millions of Dollars representing Biden/Harris against me, while her father presided over a Fake Case against me, and refused to RECUSE himself,” Trump posted on Truth Social, referring to New York Judge Juan Merchan, whose daughter is a Democratic consultant.
“He should be disbarred! Crooked Alvin Bragg was the D.A. in the case. They put me under a GAG ORDER so that I could not talk about it. Miscarriage of Justice!!!” Trump added.
The post was the latest instance of Trump attacking judges amid a clash between his administration and the judicial branch, which has blocked a number of early moves by the White House.
Boasberg sparred all week last week with the Trump administration over whether it deliberately ignored his orders with its flights deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members. Trump himself has repeatedly attacked the judge, going as far as calling for his impeachment.
Trump last week also called for an end to nationwide injunctions, suggesting the Supreme Court should intervene in some fashion.
