Georgia Republicans file impeachment articles against federal judge over misconduct allegations
Rep. Andrew Clyde, a Georgia Republican, introduced three articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross, who serves on the Northern District of Georgia bench in Atlanta. Rep. Buddy Carter joined as a cosponsor.The charges center on allegations of sexual activity in her chambers, attendance at a partisan political event, and making false statements to investigators.
The move marks an unusual escalation. Congressional impeachment of a sitting federal judge is rare, and the articles land amid a broader stretch of scrutiny for Ross tied to a Justice Department election records case and her role in a high-profile sentencing.
11Alive reported that Clyde's impeachment filing rests on three specific episodes.
