A judge who blocked President Trump’s federal spending freeze is Chairman Emeritus of a nonprofit that will continue to receive millions in government funding as a result of his ruling, in an apparent conflict of interest seen as a second cause for the judge’s impeachment.

On Wednesday, Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) announced articles of impeachment against federal Judge John McConnell on the grounds that he overreached his authority and engaged in partisan activism by blocking Trump’s executive order freezing federal funding while Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) searches for wasteful spending.

“Impeach this pseudo-jurist!!,” Musk responded to Rep. Clyde’s post.

Then, on Sunday, America First Legal Foundation (AFL) reported that Judge McConnell appears to have had a conflict of interest, which he did not disclose, when he ruled on the lawsuit petitioning him to block the spending freeze.

AFL revealed its findings in a thread of posts on Musk’s X.com social media platform:

Thus, AFL writes, Judge McConnell was legally required to disclose his close ties to Crossroads and was ethically obligated to recuse himself in order to avoid even the appearance of impropriety – but, he did neither.

As a result of these revelations, AFL is calling on Judge McConnell to immediately vacate his temporary restraining order against the funding freeze and recuse himself from the case.

“If accurate, these are grounds for impeachment of the judge,” Musk replied to AFL’s posts on Monday.
