The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has asked federal prosecutors nationwide to identify examples of what it calls “judicial activism” for possible impeachment referrals to Congress, the latest escalation in the Trump administration’s clash with judges who have ruled against its agenda.
At a recent virtual meeting with leaders of the nation’s 93 U.S. attorney’s offices, department officials asked prosecutors to submit instances in which judges obstructed the government through adverse rulings. The call was first reported on Feb. 10 by Bloomberg Law citing two people familiar with the call.
