A watchdog group filed a complaint against Judge James Boasberg on Tuesday alleging he improperly coordinated with Biden Department of Justice officials on sweeping investigations tied to former President Donald Trump and his allies.
The complaint, filed by the conservative watchdog Center to Advance Security in America and obtained by Fox News Digital, accused Boasberg of engaging in “probable judicial misconduct” by consulting with DOJ officials about Arctic Frost, an FBI investigation that led to former special counsel Jack Smith charging Trump over the 2020 election.
The complaint cited internal DOJ meeting notes from 2023, recently made public by the Senate Judiciary Committee, that referenced briefings Smith’s team had with Boasberg and Judge Beryl Howell, both Obama appointees, as Arctic Frost and a separate probe into Trump’s handling of classified documents was underway. CASA’s complaint, filed with the D.C. appellate court, comes as part of a growing clash between Republicans and Democrat-appointed judges who presided over key developments in the investigations and prosecutions of Trump.
