Elon Musk Funds GOP Push to Impeach Judges Blocking Trump Policies

The billionaire's donations to seven Republican lawmakers escalate tensions over judicial independence and separation of powers.

Elon Musk donated the maximum allowable amount to seven Republican lawmakers advocating for the impeachment of federal judges who ruled against Trump administration policies.
Recipients of Musk's contributions include Representatives Eli Crane, Lauren Boebert, Andy Ogles, Andrew Clyde, Derrick Van Orden, Brandon Gill, and Senator Charles Grassley.
Rep. Brandon Gill introduced impeachment articles against Judge James Boasberg after his ruling blocked the deportation of Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.
Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare public statement defending judicial independence, emphasizing that impeachment is not an appropriate response to judicial decisions.
The Trump administration's defiance of court orders and calls for impeachment have fueled concerns about a constitutional crisis and the balance of power among government branches.
