“Very Dangerous Territory” – Prominent Attorney Files Complaint Against Radical DC Judge Who Criticized Trump for Sharing NYC Judge Merchan’s Judicial Bias
In an appalling violation of the code of ethics, US District Judge Reggie Walton went on CNN to speak publicly about pending legal matters.
Cristina Laila reported earlier that Judge Walton, a Bush appointee, spoke with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Thursday evening about threats he has received after he called Trump a “charlatan” and rendered excessive punishment to J6 defendants.

On Tuesday they filed a complaint against Judge Walton. Mike Davis says his goal is for Judge Walton to be reprimanded and to “send a very clear message” to other judges that they “cannot take off their political robes and climb into the political arena.”
The complaint, written by A3P Founder and President Mike Davis to Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, pushed back against Judge Walton’s judicial misconduct by criticizing President Trump for his comments about the judge overseeing his case in…
