Rep. Brandon Gill, R-TX, announced Nov. 4 that he has filed articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, accusing him of being “an accomplice in the egregious Arctic Frost scandal” in a statement to FOX News.
In a Nov. 4 statement posted to X, Gill wrote that Boasberg “signed off on frivolous nondisclosure orders to conceal the fact that sitting US Senators were being surveilled.”
Gill described the judge’s action as “egregiously improper” and “a gross violation of the separation of powers.”

“Judge Boasberg abused his power by weaponizing the judiciary against critics of the Biden Administration,” Gill stressed.
CatholicVote reported Oct. 29 that 197 subpoenas made public by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed that the Biden administration’s FBI “targeted hundreds of Republican figures and organizations.”
Gill said in a statement to FOX News, “Boasberg was an accomplice in the egregious Arctic Frost scandal where he equipped the Biden DOJ to spy on Republican senators. His lack of integrity makes him clearly unfit for the gavel.”
According to documents posted to X Nov. 4 by Daily Wire journalist Megan Basham, Gill’s resolution alleges that Boasberg authorized Special Counsel Jack Smith to issue nondisclosure orders to advance the Arctic Frost project.
Boasberg “signed an order prohibiting AT&T from informing Senator [Ted] Cruz of his subpoena for at least one year,” the filing states. “Chief Judge Boasberg expressed that there were ‘reasonable grounds to believe that such disclosure will result in destruction of or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses, and serious jeopardy to the investigation.’”
The filing alleges that Boasberg “had no clear reasonable basis to make this finding” against Cruz.
CatholicVote previously reported that Cruz said at a press conference that he was one of eight Republican senators whose phone records were sought. His phone carrier, AT&T, resisted complying with the probe, according to Cruz.
It is unclear whether Boasberg facilitated the subpoenas Smith issued covering conservative nonprofit organizations, according to the resolution.
“Judge Boasberg is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, is unfit for office, and should be impeached,” Gill concluded in his X post.
According to the filing, Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., was also one of the senators covered by the nondisclosure orders Boasberg authorized.
Scott announced in a Nov. 4 press release that he sent a letter to Verizon CEO Daniel Schulman “demanding answers on Verizon’s decision to release the cell phone data of the senator and his Republican colleagues in the unlawful investigation.”
In the letter, Scott wrote, “I am deeply disappointed in Verizon’s failure to notify me or my office that my Senate data was exposed, as well as its failure to make any effort to protect my data.”
Scott also questioned Schulman – noting he was appointed CEO after the targeting occurred – on why Verizon “so readily relinquish[ed] my data,” and what measures the company will take to ensure it will not occur again.
Finally, Scott asked, “What disciplinary measures were taken against those within the company who so readily rolled over and complied with the Jack Smith farce?”
He has requested answers from Verizon by Nov. 17.
