From Breitbart: The Louisiana Office of Special Counsel (OSC) recommended to the State Judiciary Commission that a district court judge be removed from office for lying about her military service and engaging in “egregious unethical conduct.” The judge allegedly claimed to have earned the rank of captain in the Army Reserves, but her records show she was passed over twice for the promotion and never earned the rank.

The Louisiana OSC recommended to the State Judiciary Commission that 19th District Court Judge Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts be removed from office, WAFB Baton Rouge reported. If the commission accepts the recommendation, the information will be passed along to the Louisiana State Supreme Court for final removal action.

“The evidence was overwhelming that Judge Foxworth-Roberts’ conduct constituted egregious unethical conduct, necessitating a severe penalty,” Michael Bewers, assistant special counsel to the Judicial Commission of Louisiana, wrote in a brief filed in March. “Judge Foxworth-Roberts’ egregious misconduct, including a severe lack of cooperation, were calculated, deliberate, and in bad faith to further her own self-interests, and avoid detecting. Her persistent and public conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice that brings the judicial office into disrepute more than justify a recommendation of removal from office.”

While running for office in the 2020 election, Foxworth-Roberts highlighted her military service, and touted that she had risen to the rank of U.S. Army Captain. However, once her military records were obtained by the OSC, that claim was discovered to be false. She reportedly left the Army Reserve as a first lieutenant – not a Captain.

Breitbart explained: The record shows that not only did she never earn the rank of captain, but she was passed over twice for the promotion. The OSC reported that officers who are passed over twice for promotion to captain are forced to separate from the Army.
