Justice Department escalates conflict with federal judges over recusal and judicial conduct
The Justice Department has moved to disqualify federal judges and asked appellate courts to scrutinize judges' conduct, arguing some have crossed from oversight into partisan obstruction. Recent actions include a complaint with the 8th Circuit over Minnesota judges and a recusal motion against Judge Patrick Schiltz, plus a failed recusal bid against Judge Ana Reyes in a golf course lawsuit. Judge Reyes pressed DOJ lawyers over conflicting accounts of the golf course's closure plans.

Why judges are growing more skeptical of Trump’s Justice Department
One outlet frames a DOJ campaign against activist judges; another mocks the golf-course case as stupid everything; the third asks why judges distrust DOJ lawyers. Same facts, opposite protagonists.
