Burger Says Justice Dept Probes Four Judges
Federal Appeals Judge Warren Burger told colleagues at a National Council on Crime and Delinquency gathering that the Justice Department is quietly probing the financial interests of four prominent federal judges, including a Supreme Court justice. He named the four Democrats as targets, all liberal on constitutional civil rights and law enforcement, and said real estate investments are the main concern. He noted no legal prohibition on outside income but warned the matter merits investigation. The remarks sparked surprise given Burger’s own potential future Supreme Court stake and ties to current DOJ officials. The piece discusses ethics rules, disclosure gaps, and past cases involving prominent judges.
