Rep. Jim Jordan Announces House Judiciary Hearing to Grill Radical Judges Over Partisan Rulings and Activist Records

In a fiery series of interviews, House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) confirmed that his committee will launch a sweeping series of hearings aimed at exposing the “deeply political and activist record” of federal judges who have repeatedly interfered with President Trump’s constitutional authority.

Jordan’s statements, made during interviews with Fox News hosts Bill Hemmer and Brian Kilmeade, highlight his intent to investigate judicial overreach, specifically targeting Boasberg’s recent rulings and past judicial record.

The hearing, scheduled to begin as early as next week, aims to address nationwide injunctions and the politically motivated decisions, particularly in the context of President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members.

In an interview with Bill Hemmer, Jordan’s criticism centers on Boasberg’s temporary restraining order blocking Trump’s invocation of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport individuals accused of being part of the Tren de Aragua gang.

Boasberg’s order, issued on March 15, 2025, directed that deportation flights be halted and any planes in the air be turned around.

Jordan argues that this decision is “ridiculous” and politically driven, asserting that Trump’s actions are constitutionally sound under Article II, Section 1, which vests executive power in the President, and statutorily supported by the Alien Enemies Act, which allows the President to detain or remove enemy aliens during times of war or “predatory incursion.”

Jordan interprets the gang members’ illegal entry and criminal activities as fitting this criterion, framing Boasberg’s ruling as an unjustified interference with executive authority.

Additionally, Boasberg sat on the FISA court that approved illegal surveillance of the Trump campaign based on false and doctored evidence in the Trump-Russia hoax. That included the now-infamous case of FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who altered an email to justify spying—and was let off with a slap on the wrist by Boasberg.

Jim Jordan:
Frankly, there’s the broader issue of all these judges’ injunctions, and then decisions like Judge Boasberg—what he’s trying to do and how that case is working. We’re going to have hearings on all of that, because particularly when you look at Judge Boasberg, it starts to look like this is getting totally political from this guy.

Particularly when you remember he’s also the judge who was part of the whole Trump-Russia FISA court—granting those warrants that allowed the Comey FBI to spy on President Trump’s campaign. So, we’re going to look at that issue as well. But hopefully, we can get that bill passed next week on the House floor, move it to the Senate, and hopefully get it to the President’s desk.

Bill Hemmer:
What do you think you’re going to find here? It seems to me like it’s pretty black and white. You know—you go, you find the judge that’s going to rule in your favor. And it’s been going on for 20-plus years.

Jim Jordan:
Yeah, that’s why we want to limit it to just add jurisdiction—just the parties of the case—so it doesn’t have nationwide implications. But yeah, this is the way the Left operates. They go to these judges, and they go after President Trump, as the Speaker indicated, disproportionately more there than elsewhere.

But with Judge Boasberg—think about this. I mean, I think the President, with his order on these gang members, sending them back—or sending them to El Salvador—I think constitutionally he’s on solid ground.

Article II, Section I, first sentence: “Executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States.” Statutorily, the Alien Enemies Act—predatory incursion—that’s certainly what this was. Gang members coming here illegally, doing terrible things.

And then finally, you’ve got this judge making this crazy decision: turn the plane around, bring the bad guys back to America. That makes no sense. So when you look at all that—coupled with this judge’s history with the FISA court, with the sentence he gave to Kevin Clinesmith, the lawyer who altered the document in front of the FISA court—it really starts to look like Judge Boasberg is operating purely politically against the President.

And that’s why we want to have hearings on this broad issue, and some of what Judge Boasberg is doing. So we’re going to start those next week, and we think Senator Grassley is going to do the same.

WATCH:

Jordan emphasized that the House GOP is pursuing multiple remedies to rein in judicial overreach during interview with Brian Kilmeade.

Brian Kilmeade:
Joining us now to discuss this is the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Jim Jordan. Mr. Chairman, great to see you. What’s the approach here? Because you got brushback from—not you, but there was a brushback from the Supreme Court—saying don’t talk about impeachment and judges. Does that push you back?

Jim Jordan:
No, no, no. Look, everything’s on the table with us, particularly with Judge Boasberg, because what it looks like he did was so political. I mean, think about how dumb his decision was. He said, “Oh, you got hardened criminals who’ve done all kinds of bad things, members of a group here illegally—turn that plane around and bring those bad guys back to the country.” I mean, it’s a ridiculous decision.

And I think the President was on solid constitutional ground. Certainly, he also followed the statute. The Alien Enemies Act says if there’s a predatory incursion, you can take this kind of action as Commander in Chief. So I think the President’s on solid constitutional ground as the head of the executive branch, statutory ground using that act, and then there’s, of course, just the common sense of it all.

So we will look at Judge Boasberg because when you look at this decision, it looks so political. And then you couple it with his history. This is also the judge who was part of the FISA court that allowed the warrants when they spied on President Trump’s campaign back in 2016. He was also the judge who gave Kevin Clinesmith—the guy who altered a document in front of that FISA court—a little slap on the wrist, even though he lied to the FISA court in order to help get that warrant which spied on President Trump’s campaign.

Jim Jordan (continued):
So I think when you have that history, this judge is in a somewhat unique position compared to all the others that are doing some of these injunctions as well.

Well, there are two remedies. One is legislation. What we passed two weeks ago will help with this situation. We passed a bill out of the Judiciary Committee a couple of weeks ago—Representative Issa’s bill—which said a federal district judge who issues one of these injunctions, the injunction only applies to the party in the case and to that respective jurisdiction. It shouldn’t have nationwide implications.

So we think that’s a good bill. Senator Hawley is introducing a bill just like that in the Senate. We think we need to get that through the Congress, get that to President Trump, have him sign it. That will help.

And then we’re going to again look at this whole situation. We plan on having hearings as early as next week to look at the power of these judges. And then finally, when it comes to the money, I think we do have to do what’s called a rescissions package, which says the money that’s been appropriated and these agencies use it on stupid things—we should rescind that money so it can go back to the Treasury for deficit reduction, or it can be put to some other better use, like towards our military or something else.

I do think we, the Congress, have to do that rescissions package. We’re going to put that together as we work through this whole bigger, broader reconciliation policy. But I think that’s something that needs to happen as well.

“There is no one more qualified than Dr. Carson to advise on policies that improve Americans’ everyday quality of life, from nutrition to healthcare quality to ensuring families have access to safe and stable housing,” said Secretary Rollins.

“With six in ten Americans living with at least one chronic disease, and rural communities facing unique challenges with respect to adequate housing, Dr. Carson’s insight and experience is critical. Dr. Carson will be crucial to implementing the rural health investment provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill and advise on America First polices related to nutrition, health, and housing.

LEAKED MEMO: Deep State Prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia Claim There Isn’t Enough Evidence to Convict Comey Amid Reports of Imminent Indictment

On Wednesday evening, disgruntled officials in the Eastern District of Virginia leaked contents of a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey.

As reported earlier, former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia in the next few days.

Comey will reportedly be charged for lying to Congress in a 2020 testimony about whether he authorized leaks to the media.

Officials in the Eastern District of Virginia are still fighting to stop Comey from being charged after Trump fired US Attorney Erik Siebert.

President Trump last week fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff and others.

On Saturday evening, President Trump announced that he had appointed Lindsey Halligan – his personal attorney who defended him against the Mar-a-Lago raid – as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Now, with just days to go before the statute of limitations runs out to charge Comey for lying during a September 30, 2020 testimony, Lindsey Halligan is reportedly gearing up to indict Comey.

Prosecutors reportedly gave newly sworn-in Halligan a memo defending James Comey and explaining why charges should not brought against the fired FBI Director.

Per MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian:

Two sources familiar with the matter tell me prosecutors in the EDVA US attorney‘s office presented newly sworn US attorney Lindsey Halligan with a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey, because there isn’t enough evidence to establish probable cause a crime was committed, let alone enough to convince a jury to convict him.

Justice Department guidelines say a case should not be brought unless prosecutors believe it’s more likely than not that they can win a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.

Nearly 8 in 10 Voters Say the United States is in Political Crisis After the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Nearly eight in ten voters believe that the United States is in a political crisis in the wake of the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk.

According to a Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters released on Wednesday, a massive 93 percent of Democrats, 84 percent of independents, and 60 percent of Republicans said the nation is in a political crisis.

“The Kirk assassination lays bare raw, bipartisan concerns about where the country is headed,” Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said of the poll results.

Quinnipiac reports:

Seventy-one percent of voters think politically motivated violence in the United States today is a very serious problem, 22 percent think it is a somewhat serious problem, 3 percent think it is a not so serious problem, and 1 percent think it is not a problem at all.

This is a jump from Quinnipiac University’s June 26 poll when 54 percent thought politically motivated violence in the United States today was a very serious problem, 37 percent thought it was a somewhat serious problem, 6 percent thought it was a not so serious problem, and 2 percent thought it was not a problem at all.

Nearly 6 in 10 voters (58 percent) think it will not be possible to lower the temperature on political rhetoric and speech in the United States, while 34 percent think it will be possible.

Over half, 54 percent, of voters believe the US will see increased political violence over the next few years. Another 27 percent said they think it will stay “about the same,” while just 14 percent believe it will ease.

A 53 percent majority also said they are “pessimistic about freedom of speech being protected in the United States.”

Surprisingly, a 53 percent majority also believes the current system of democracy is not working.

“From a perceived assault on freedom of speech to the fragility of the democracy, a shudder of concern and pessimism rattles a broad swath of the electorate. Nearly 80 percent of registered voters feel they are witnessing a political crisis, seven in ten say political violence is a very serious problem, and a majority say this discord won’t go away anytime soon,” Malloy added.

The vast majority, 82 percent, said the way that people discuss politics is contributing to the violence.

“When asked if political discourse is contributing to violence, a rare meeting of the minds…Republicans, Democrats, and independents in equal numbers say yes, it is,” Malloy said.

The survey was conducted from September 18 to 21 among 1,276 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points.
