Judges speak out on threats to judiciary independence

Two federal judges have discussed mounting threats against American jurists and their families in a recent conversation.

Sitting U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik and former U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel addressed the issue during an interview. They noted an uptick in incidents where judges have been doxxed, swatted or even killed over recent years. The judges highlighted that while threats against jurists have a long history, the current situation marks uncharted territory because such actions are coming from the President and the Department of Justice.
