DOJ files misconduct complaint against federal judges in Minnesota

Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the Justice Department had filed a judicial misconduct complaint against federal judges in Minnesota after they spoke with the New York Times.

What the coverage shows

All five outlets frame the story as a Justice Department misconduct complaint against Minnesota federal judges, and all mention the judges’ New York Times interviews as the trigger. CNN foregrounds Todd Blanche’s allegation that the judges are biased and politicizing the legal system, while CNBC says the department is seeking their recusal from DHS cases. The Washington Post is the only one to note one judge’s public defense of speaking out, and The Hill alone calls the move a step to censure both a former and a sitting judge.
