SCOOP: House to hold hearings next week on ‘activist judges’ blocking Trump agenda

SCOOP: House to hold hearings next week on ‘activist judges’ blocking Trump agenda

The House Judiciary Committee is expected to hold a hearing early next week looking into the issue of ‘activist judges,’ three people familiar with discussions told Fox News Digital.

It comes as the Trump administration has faced more than a dozen injunctions from various district court judges across the country on a range of policy decisions.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, confirmed on Fox News’ ‘America’s Newsroom’ that he intended to hold such hearings minutes after Fox News Digital reported on the news.

Jordan also said he expects a House-wide vote next week on a bill by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., to block district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions. 

Jordan has been one of President Donald Trump’s closest House allies. Issa served in his first administration.

Two sources said they expected that vote next week or the week after, but one source stressed that conversations were still ongoing.

That comes as some conservatives push for impeachment as a way to punish judges blocking Trump’s agenda. 

A resolution by Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, has seen some attention from House GOP leadership after Trump specifically called for the judge in question – U.S. district court Judge James Boasberg – to be impeached.

Boasberg issued a 14-day emergency injunction on Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport suspected Tren De Aragua gang members to a prison in El Salvador. The White House is now locked in a legal standoff over the order.

But two sources also told Fox News Digital last week that Trump showed interest in Issa’s bill as well, telling Capitol Hill aides that ‘the president wants this.’

Gill, who has also forged a close relationship with the president, told Fox News Digital when he introduced the bill earlier this month that he hoped it would go through the regular committee process. But it’s not clear if those plans have changed given House leaders’ inclination toward Issa’s bill.

However, if any conservative who has filed an impeachment resolution – Reps. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., and Eli Crane, R-Ariz., in addition to Gill – classified it as ‘privileged,’ it would force House GOP leaders to take it up within two legislative days.

Two sources told Fox News Digital last week that House leaders were wary of the impeachment route given the intense political maneuvering such a measure would take – only for it to likely die in the Senate.

Jordan praised Issa’s bill during his Fox News television interview on Monday, though his office did not immediately return a request for comment.
