Georgia Congressman, working alongside Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, moves to remove unfit judge who carried on an affair with high-ranking Atlanta PD official during business hours while actively presiding over criminal cases.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a special committee for the Eleventh Circuit discovered that Eleanor Ross of the Northern District of Georgia carried out a two-year sexual affair in her “chambers and during business hours” with a police commander.
According to Bloomberg Law, the incidents all occurred within “earshot” of law clerks. The entire affair created a major conflict of interest and made the judge vulnerable to extortion.
Ross, who is married to a DeKalb County judge and former prosecutor, was also found by the committee to have attended a partisan political event hosted by a district attorney’s campaign and to have lied to judges investigating her conduct.
Despite these damning findings, Ross has refused to resign.
Freshman Rep. Clay Fuller (R-GA) announced Friday that he is dropping articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge Eleanor L. Ross of the Northern District of Georgia on Monday.
Rep. Fuller wrote on X:
I am dropping an article of impeachment against Eleanor L. Ross, a Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. I have been working on this alongside [Jim Jordan] since the news broke and will be introducing this on Monday.
Judge Ross is alleged to have engaged in an extramarital affair with a high-ranking official of the Atlanta Police Department inside her federal courthouse chambers during office hours, within earshot of her judicial staff, while actively presiding over criminal cases.
This radical judge has no place in power and is unfit to sit on the federal bench.

Here is the full text of the key sections of the resolution:
RESOLVED, That Eleanor L. Ross, Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate.
Judge Ross, who was appointed, duly qualified, and commissioned to serve during good behavior in office as United States Judge for the Northern District of Georgia on November 18, 2014, faces the following charge:
ARTICLE I: MISLEADING AND FALSE STATEMENTS
Judge Eleanor L. Ross made material false and misleading statements as follows:
Between October 2023 and October 2025, Judge Ross engaged in sexual intercourse with a high-ranking official of the Atlanta Police Department inside her federal courthouse chambers during regular business hours, while actively presiding over criminal cases.
These activities were conducted within earshot of her judicial staff.
On September 30, 2025, Eleventh Circuit Chief Judge William Pryor identified a complaint about this behavior from a law clerk in Judge Ross’s office and appointed a Special Committee to investigate.
The Special Committee determined that Judge Ross lied to Chief Judge Pryor as well as to Chief Judge of the Northern District of Georgia Leigh Martin May regarding this sexual activity in her private office.
Specifically, Judge Ross falsely claimed that she had “never engaged in sexual intercourse in [her] office, nor anywhere else in the Courthouse”, and that she was “not sure who this allegation concerns or whether it is alleged to have occurred with different individuals.”
Even though Judge Ross later admitted her falsehoods to the Special Committee, this occurred after the Special Committee had taken significant actions including:
A review of security camera footage and sign-in logs
Background research on the Officer
Interviews of five of the Judge’s former clerks
Inspection of the layout of the Judge’s chambers
Laboratory testing of furnishings of the Judge’s chamber
The Special Committee concluded that Judge Ross engaged in misconduct including sexual conduct in her office during business hours, and made material false and misleading statements to Chief Judge Pryor and Chief District Judge May that had a detrimental affect on the investigation of misconduct and the administration of the district court.
Her actions exhibit a reckless disregard for her professional obligations, proving her wholly unfit to continue holding the office of a federal judge.
Wherefore, Judge Ross is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and should be removed from office.
