Trump Criticizes Judge Boasberg Over Assignment to Signal Group Chat Lawsuit

The lawsuit, alleging Federal Records Act violations by Trump officials, intensifies tensions between the judiciary and the administration as Chief Justice Roberts defends judicial independence.

Judge James Boasberg has been assigned to a lawsuit alleging Trump officials violated the Federal Records Act by using Signal to discuss military operations, including a bombing raid in Yemen.
President Trump has publicly criticized Boasberg, accusing him of bias and claiming the judicial system is 'rigged' against him.
The lawsuit, filed by watchdog group American Oversight, follows the accidental addition of The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to the Signal group chat, revealing sensitive discussions.
Chief Justice John Roberts has rebuked Trump’s calls for Boasberg’s impeachment, emphasizing that judicial disagreements should not lead to impeachment.
This legal battle adds to ongoing tensions over the judiciary's role in overseeing executive actions, including Boasberg’s prior rulings against Trump’s deportation policies.
