President Donald Trump screamed “conflict of interest” while going after the judge who temporarily ordered he halt migrant deportations done under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
The chief executive continued his attacks on Judge James E. Boasberg in a Saturday night post on Truth Social, sharing a group photo that showed the jurist standing besides former Second Gentleman, Douglas Emhoff, and six other people.
“SUCH A CONFLICT OF INTEREST!” Trump wrote in all caps.
The accusation was thin at best.

The photo was simply from Boasberg and Emhoff’s time participating in the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Mock Trial in Washington, D.C., in 2022 and did nothing to indicate the duo knew each other outside of the event, in either a professional or social capacity.
Trump began to direct his ire at Boasberg last weekend, almost immediately after the judge ordered a flight deporting a group of Venezuelan immigrants to El Salvador to be stopped.
Though Trump ignored the order, that didn’t stop him from lashing out at Boasberg online, where he dubbed him a “troublemaker and agitator” while calling for his impeachment.
The outburst was enough to make the Supreme Court’s Chief Justice John Roberts rebuke the president in a statement, where he reminded him that impeachment was “not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision.”
