Trump attacks Judge Boasberg as 'wacky, nasty, crooked' with 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'

President Trump launched a scathing attack on U.S. District Judge James Boasberg via Truth Social, calling him 'a Wacky, Nasty, Crooked, and totally Out of Control Judge' who 'suffers from the highest level of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).' The attack came after Boasberg ruled against the Justice Department's attempt to subpoena the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors in connection with an investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Trump accused Boasberg of 'open, flagrant, and extreme partisan bias and contempt against Republicans and the Trump Administration' and demanded his removal from all related cases. The verbal assault on a sitting federal judge prompted Chief Justice John Roberts to issue a rare public warning two days later, stating that personal criticism of judges 'is dangerous and has got to stop,' underscoring the threat to judicial independence.
