Trump Launches New All-Caps Attack On Judge Who Blocked Him — Here’s The Dubious ‘CONFLICT OF INTEREST!’

President Donald Trump launched a new all-caps attack on Federal District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg alleging a “CONFLICT OF INTEREST!” — a rather thin one to put it mildly.

Trump called for Boasberg’s impeachment after he temporarily ordered the Trump administration to stop deporting migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

This prompted Chief Justice John Roberts to issue a statement rebuking Trump, which Trump decided wasn’t about him.

On Saturday night, Trump posted a photo of Boasberg in a group shot with the caption “SUCH A CONFLICT OF INTEREST!”

Underneath the photo — credited to Kevin Allen  — Trump circled the names “Judge James E. Boasberg, Douglas Emhoff” in the photo caption. Emhoff is the former Second Gentleman who would have become First Gentleman if then-Vice President Kamala Harris had defeated Trump.

The “conflict” Trump is alleging appears to be that Boasberg and Emhoff appeared in a group photo in 2022 documenting their participation in a Shakespeare Theatre Company event in Washington, DC:

Spring was in the air on the evening of the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Mock Trial, and our thoughts turned to love, or rather, the fantastically unpleasant things that can happen when love goes wrong enough to end up in a courtroom. At issue was a legal dispute between Margaret and Hero of Much Ado About Nothing. Fortunately, the jokes were fast and furious, the arguments state-of-the-art, and the verdict a tribute to Shakespearean justice.

Lowell introduced the “Corte Suprema di Cassazione” (Supreme Court of Cassation): Justice Stephen G. Breyer, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, presiding; Judge Patricia A. Millett, U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit; Judge Amy Berman Jackson, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia; Judge James E. Boasberg, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia; Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia; and Marshall for the Court Pamela Talkin, Former Marshal of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Counsel for Margaret, the Petitioner, was Douglas Emhoff, Second Gentleman; for Hero, the Respondent, Debra Katz, D.C. Litigator, Founding Partner of Katz, Marshall & Banks.

The trial resulted in judgments against several fictional characters, including Emhoff’s client.
