Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) hinted at the possibility of impeaching Supreme Court justices, claiming they “legalized” former President Donald Trump’s alleged misconduct, during a post-midterms interview with CNN.
The progressive firebrand, fresh off Democratic gains in Congress, told CNN’s Manu Raju that no targets were off-limits for investigations. “We have to follow wherever the evidence takes us,” Ocasio-Cortez said when asked about potential impeachment proceedings. “All options are on the table.”
Judicial Branch in the Crosshairs
Ocasio-Cortez specifically took aim at the Supreme Court, suggesting justices could face accountability for rulings during Trump’s presidency. Her comments come as Republicans warn that Democrats will weaponize their new congressional majority to launch aggressive investigations across all branches of government.
House Minority Leader-elect Jim Jordan (R-OH) predicted sweeping Democratic probes, telling Breitbart: “It’ll be every committee. There’ll be a third impeachment. They can’t help themselves.” Jordan referenced ongoing tensions over the attempted impeachment of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth as evidence of coming political battles.
Broader Political Warfare Looms
The exchange highlights escalating tensions as Democrats prepare to take control of Congress. While Ocasio-Cortez framed potential actions as evidence-driven, Jordan and other Republicans characterize the incoming wave of investigations as political retaliation.
Separate reporting indicates Trump has ordered the Justice Department to examine allegedly threatening letters sent to Republican officials by Democratic leaders, adding another layer to the brewing conflict between the two parties.
