Elon Musk Funds Republican Push to Impeach Judges Blocking Trump Policies

Musk's donations to seven GOP lawmakers align with efforts to challenge judicial rulings, as Chief Justice Roberts defends judicial independence.

Elon Musk donated the maximum allowable contributions to seven Republican lawmakers supporting judicial impeachments, totaling $6,600 per lawmaker.
Recipients include Representatives Eli Crane, Lauren Boebert, Andy Ogles, Andrew Clyde, Derrick Van Orden, Brandon Gill, and Senator Charles Grassley.
The impeachment efforts target judges like James Boasberg and Paul A. Engelmayer, who issued rulings against Trump administration policies on deportation and federal agency access.
Chief Justice John Roberts publicly opposed impeachment as a response to judicial decisions, emphasizing the appellate review process as the proper channel.
The legal conflict over nationwide injunctions and judicial authority could escalate to the Supreme Court, raising concerns about constitutional norms and separation of powers.
