Rep. Andy Ogles Sounds the Alarm After Obama-Appointed Anti-Trump Judge Ted Chuang Assigned to Oversee John Bolton Case | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft

The same Obama-appointed judge who blocked President Trump’s travel ban, ruled against Elon Musk and DOGE, and gutted safeguards for chemical abortions, Judge Theodore D. Chuang, has now been assigned to oversee the explosive John Bolton case.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) took to X to sound the alarm:

“CORRUPTION WATCH: Judge Ted Chuang, an Obama-appointed anti-Trump judge, has been assigned the case against John Bolton. He already ruled against @elonmusk and DOGE, and against President Trump when he righteously implemented the travel ban. I filed Articles of Impeachment on this judicial hack MONTHS ago. This is not good.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, former National Security Adviser John R. Bolton was indicted on 18 counts for allegedly mishandling classified information, including eight counts of transmitting national defense information and ten counts of unlawful retention.

Prosecutors claim Bolton used his personal AOL email account to send “diary-like entries” to family members that contained highly sensitive national defense details from his White House tenure. The Espionage Act of 1917.

Even more alarming, sources indicate that Bolton’s personal email was hacked by individuals linked to the Iranian regime, raising the possibility that classified material ended up in foreign hands.

Rep. Ogles’ impeachment thread lays out Chuang’s long trail of partisan activism.

Here’s the full transcription from Rep. Andy Ogles’s March 25, 2025 thread on Judge Theodore Chuang:

Federal Judge Theodore Chuang—a career Democrat operative—is obstructing President Trump and protecting USAID’s reckless spending. Congress must hold him accountable. Here’s the case for impeachment.

1. Judge Theodore Chuang, Maryland Federal District Court, is mandating President Trump and DOGE defy the American people’s mandate by propping up USAID.
This is the same USAID blowing $2 million on Guatemalan sex changes, $1.5 million on DEI in Serbia, and $47,000 for a transgender opera. That’s your tax dollars at work.

2. Let’s be clear: unelected district judges have zero constitutional authority to dictate terms to a duly elected President on executive actions. Chuang’s ruling is a blatant power grab—plain and simple.

3. No surprise here. Judge Chuang’s history is steeped in Democrat activism. From 1992–1994, as editor of the Harvard Law Review, he championed articles pushing Critical Race Theory, affirmative action, and a Marxist spin on America’s foundations.

4. Take “Whiteness as Property,” republished under Chuang’s watch by Cheryl Harris—now on LA’s Reparations Advisory Committee. She argues:

“Seeing oneself as ‘white’ assumes white supremacy.”
That’s the radical ideology Chuang elevated.

5. Harris doubles down:

“It assumes that Black ancestry in any degree, extending to generations far removed, automatically disqualifies claims to white identity, thereby privileging ‘white’ as unadulterated, exclusive, and rare… The law has played a critical role in legitimating this claim.”

6. Before Obama put him on the bench in 2013, Chuang was a Democratic Party stalwart — Vice President of Montgomery County’s District 16 Democratic Club (2009), Board member for the Coalition of Asian-Pacific American Democrats of Maryland, and Precinct Chair for Montgomery Democrats.
His Senate Judiciary Questionnaire lays it out.

7. In 2008, Chuang served on the Steering Committee for Obama’s Maryland Asian Pacific American Coalition, rallying fundraisers and connecting Democrat mega-donors. He was also a delegate at the 2002 Massachusetts Democratic Convention. This isn’t a judge—it’s a partisan résumé.

8. Chuang’s bias didn’t stop at the bench. In 2017, he struck down Trump’s travel ban, unprofessionally leaning on Trump’s tweets to misconstrue the policy—a flimsy tactic echoed by activist Amir Ali at the Supreme Court. Another rogue judge I am impeaching.

9. In 2020, Chuang gutted a Trump rule requiring doctor visits for chemical abortions, calling it an “infringement” on abortion rights and claiming it caused “irreparable harm” during COVID. That decision greenlit mail-order abortions — AKA murder — disgraceful.

10. He argued requiring a doctor’s visit would make women “forgo or delay abortion care” or risk COVID exposure. This isn’t judicial restraint—it’s Chuang legislating progressive priorities from the bench.

11. Chuang’s latest stunt—an injunction against @elonmusk, @DOGE, and @POTUS—is absurd. His deep Democrat ties, aligned with their woke pro-bureaucrat agenda, scream conflict of interest.
He’s abusing his robe to thwart the people’s will.
Congress must act.
