Sen. Mike Lee seeks to impeach federal judge over Trump ruling
Original: Sen. Mike Lee wants to impeach a federal judge for ruling against Trump — and is asking for $5 to do it
Utah Senator Mike Lee is pushing for the impeachment of a federal judge who ruled against President Trump, and has asked supporters for $5 donations to back the effort. The move escalates Republican criticism of the judiciary and raises questions about congressional retaliation against judges over rulings, drawing scrutiny over the independence of the federal courts and the use of fundraising around impeachment efforts.
Why now: Republican senators openly targeting judges who rule against Trump is a striking escalation in the fight over judicial independence.
