A key ally of Donald Trump filed a complaint Tuesday against a district judge out of Washington, DC, who appeared on CNN last week and took jabs at the former president.
US District Judge Reggie Walton went on the cable news network to discuss Trump’s attacks on the judge overseeing his “hush money” case out of Manhattan and was openly critical of the 45th president.
Mike Davis, the founder of the Article III Project, an advocacy group that pushes for the nominations of conservative judges, ripped Walton’s CNN appearance as “judicial misconduct.”
“We are seeing a dangerous pattern in which DC federal judges, like … Reggie Walton have convinced themselves they have a duty — unbounded by the judicial canons — to make extrajudicial pronouncements about President Trump,” Davis wrote in a 13-page complaint.
Davis’ complaint was addressed to Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.
He told The Post that his goal is for Walton to get reprimanded and to “send a very clear message” to other judges, especially in DC, that they “cannot take off their political robes and climb into the political arena.”

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.
“I’ve had more threats than what used to be the case,” the judge said referring to a January 6 case he oversaw.
Even Kaitlan Collins conceded that it is “rare that we get to hear from a sitting federal judge.”
“I’m wondering, what made you speak out tonight and speak publicly?” Kaitlan Collins asked Judge Walton.
“I think it’s important in order to preserve our democracy that we maintain the rule of law…I think it’s important that we judges speak out..” Walton said.
