Representatives Clay Fuller (R-GA) and Andrew Clyde (R-GA) have filed articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross, who is accused of engaging in sexual activity with a police officer in her court chambers. The allegations were brought to light by a law clerk, leading to a judicial investigation that found Ross had lied about the incidents. Following the investigation, Congress is considering impeachment proceedings, as federal judges can only be removed through this process. Clyde stated that Ross's actions demonstrate a lack of integrity and impartiality. Additionally, Ross attended a partisan event for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, raising concerns about potential bias in a case involving election records related to former President Donald Trump. The Justice Department has requested Ross to recuse herself from this case, citing her connections to Willis as a conflict of interest.
