This resolution proposes the impeachment of Paul Adam Engelmayer , a United States District Court Judge for the Southern District of New York, for alleged high crimes and misdemeanors. The House of Representatives intends to exhibit an article of impeachment to the Senate, asserting that Judge Engelmayer violated his oath of office and duty of impartiality. The core accusation is abuse of power , stemming from allegations that Judge Engelmayer knowingly and willfully used his judicial position for personal interests and political gain. This includes restraining President Trump and Secretary Bessent from granting access to specific Department of the Treasury records, payment systems, and data containing personally identifiable or confidential financial information. He is also accused of restraining access to these systems for political appointees and other government employees. The resolution contends that this conduct demonstrates apparent bias and favoritism, representing an abuse of judicial authority detrimental to the judiciary's functioning. It asserts that Judge Engelmayer interfered with the will of the people and overstepped his judicial authority by making a political decision outside his legal duties, thereby compromising the impartiality of the judicial system.
