U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) is calling for the suspension of Chief Judge James Boasberg as Congress considers articles of impeachment for abusing his judicial authority to target the Trump administration, sitting Republican Senators and conservative organizations.
Impeachment articles against Boasberg were filed two weeks ago for his role in Operation Arctic Frost, the Biden administration's effort to target and spy on sitting Republican Senators, including Tuberville, who is threatening to sue anybody involved in that operation.

On X, Alabama's senior U.S. Senator wrote, "Articles of Impeachment have been filed against Judge Boasberg for his BLATANT abuse of judicial authority. He authorized the Biden DOJ to SPY on the phones of sitting U.S. Senators. SUSPEND AND IMPEACH BOASBERG."
Tuberville joined with U.S. Sens. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), and Mike Lee (R-Utah) in pushing for Boasberg to be "administratively suspended pending formal impeachment by the House of Representatives and, if impeached, an impeachment trial by the Senate."
"On November 4, 2025, Articles of Impeachment were filed against Chief Judge Boasberg over, among other things, his role in improperly granting gag orders in the 'Arctic Frost' probe: 'Ignoring his responsibility to wield the power of his office in a constitutional manner, Chief Judge Boasberg granted Special Counsel John L. Smith authorization to issue frivolous nondisclosure orders in furtherance of . . . ARCTIC FROST.' Your court adopted a similar sentiment when it reversed Chief Judge Boasberg In re: Sealed Case, which found that he had erred by too permissively granting government-requested nondisclosure orders against X Corp," the Senators wrote in a letter to D.C. Circuit Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan.
