“Judge Boasberg is a Democrat activist,” Leavitt said. “He was appointed by Barack Obama. His wife has donated more than $10,000 to Democrats. And he has consistently shown his disdain for this president and his policies and it’s unacceptable.”
Except Boasberg, whom President Donald Trump is mad at for halting his mass deportations, has ruled in favor of Trump lots of times before this case.
He previously ordered the release of 15,000 documents on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server when she was Trump’s presidential opponent in 2016. He dismissed a 2017 lawsuit aimed at forcing the IRS to release Trump’s tax returns, preventing his taxes from becoming public.
Boasberg also limited the scope of memos the FBI had to release relating to former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, issued more lenient sentences for Jan. 6, 2021, defendants than what prosecutors were seeking, and limited grand jury material disclosure in Trump’s classified documents case.
