Justice Dept. Challenges Contempt Investigation
Update: 2025-12-13
Description
Justice Department seeks to halt contempt investigation into Trump administration, accusing Judge Boasberg of bias. The department aims to remove Boasberg from the case, alleging a radical, retaliatory, unconstitutional campaign against the Trump administration. The department wants the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to rule on its requests before Monday, when Boasberg is scheduled to hear testimony from a former government attorney who filed a whistleblower complaint. The department claims Boasberg is biased and creating a circus that threatens the separation of powers. Boasberg believes the Trump administration may have acted in bad faith by rushing Venezuelan migrants out of the country despite his order blocking their deportations.
