The Department of Justice has filed a judicial misconduct complaint against Minnesota federal judges for speaking to the media while lawsuits in their courts were still active, the Washington Examiner reported on September 30, 2026.
The Washington Examiner's headline says the judges "face" the complaint after talking to the press during active lawsuits. Reporter Kaelan Deese bylined the piece, which was posted at 2:19 pm that day.
Developing, unverified: The available text does not say which judges are named, which cases are involved, or which interviews triggered the complaint. It also does not say what rule the DOJ claims was broken. A complaint is an allegation. No misconduct has been established.
That is the whole verified record for now. Everything else is a blank, and we are not filling it in for you.
The filing puts the DOJ in a formal dispute with sitting federal judges over what they may say publicly while cases are pending. Whether the judges respond, or whether the complaint is acted on, is not in the source.
