Impeachment threat hits judge who blocked Trump federal funding freeze

by February 13, 2025
written by February 13, 2025

Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., is threatening to file articles of impeachment against a federal judge who blocked President Donald Trump’s federal funding freeze.

‘I’m drafting articles of impeachment for U.S. District Judge John McConnell Jr.,’ Clyde wrote on X.

‘He’s a partisan activist weaponizing our judicial system to stop President Trump’s funding freeze on woke and wasteful government spending. We must end this abusive overreach. Stay tuned.’

U.S. District Judge John McConnell filed a new motion Monday ordering the Trump administration to comply with a restraining order issued Jan. 31, temporarily blocking the administration’s efforts to pause federal grants and loans. 

McConnell’s original restraining order came after 22 states and the District of Columbia challenged the Trump administration’s actions to hold up funds for grants, such as the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant and other Environmental Protection Agency programs. However, the states said Friday that the administration is not following through and funds are still tied up.  

A three-judge panel on the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Trump administration’s appeal of the order on Tuesday.

McConnell has come under fire by Trump supporters and conservatives who have accused him of being a liberal activist. 

Clyde and others have cited a video of McConnell in 2021 saying courts must ‘stand and enforce the rule of law, that is, against arbitrary and capricious actions by what could be a tyrant or could be whatnot.’

‘You have to take a moment and realize that this, you know, middle-class, white, male, privileged person needs to understand the human being that comes before us that may be a woman, may be Black, may be transgender, may be poor, may be rich, may be — whatever,’ McConnell said in the video, according to WPRI.

Elon Musk wrote on X in response, ‘Impeach this activist posing as a judge! Such a person does great discredit to the American justice system.’

Clyde confirmed he was preparing articles of impeachment when asked by Fox News Digital on Thursday.

‘For a federal judge to deny the executive their legitimate right to exercise their authority is wrong,’ Clyde told Fox News Digital. ‘This type of judge, this political activist – this radical political activist – should be removed from the bench.’

When reached for a response to Clyde’s threat, the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island said McConnell ‘often sits down with members of the media upon request’ but did not comment on pending cases.

Trump’s allies have been hammering the judges who have issued a series of decisions curbing the president’s executive orders.

Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., threatened to prepare impeachment articles against another judge earlier this week, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer of the U.S. Southern District of New York, for blocking Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing Treasury records.
