Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wisc.) this week became the first House Republican to file articles of impeachment against a federal judge who has blocked President Trump in his efforts to upend the federal government.

A Republican ally of Donald Trump has moved to impeach a federal judge who blocked a team set up by the president and spearheaded by billionaire Elon Musk from accessing U.S. Treasury Department systems responsible for trillions of dollars in payments.

A Republican lawmaker introduced articles of impeachment against a Manhattan federal judge who issued a temporary court order blocking Elon Musk’s efficiency team from accessing Treasury Department information.

House Republicans are planning to introduce long-shot articles of impeachment against at least two of the federal judges who have blocked President Trump's efforts to upend the federal government. Why it matters: The measures are part of a growing public conflict between Republicans and the federal judiciary as Trump bristles at obstacles to his "government efficiency" agenda.

Two lawmakers so far have come out in favor of impeaching jurists who have blocked administration policies in the last three weeks.
