The complaint, written by Bondi's Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle, references remarks Boasberg reportedly made during a judicial conference earlier this year. "While there, Judge Boasberg attempted to improperly influence Chief Justice Roberts and roughly two dozen other federal judges by straying from the traditional topics to express his belief that the Trump Administration would 'disregard rulings of federal courts' and trigger 'a constitutional crisis,'" Mizelle wrote, according to Fox News. _ Chad Mizelle further stated that "although his comments would be inappropriate even if they had some basis, they were even worse because Judge [James] Boasberg had no basis - the Trump Administration has always complied with all court orders. ... Nor did Judge Boasberg identify any purported violations of court orders to justify his unprecedented predictions." Judge Boasberg, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, allegedly made the comment before overseeing a case involving President Donald Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act. _ Chad Mizelle also pointed to James Boasberg's deportation order, which has since been overturned by the Supreme Court. "Within days of those statements, Judge Boasberg began acting on his preconceived belief that the Trump Administration would not follow court orders," Mizelle argued. "Taken together, Judge Boasberg's words and deeds violate Canons of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges, and, erode public confidence in judicial neutrality, and warrant a formal investigation." He concluded by requesting that Boasberg be removed from the case "to prevent further erosion of public confidence while the investigation proceeds."
