据美国国家公共广播电台（NPR）援引一位熟悉调查的消息人士报道，2025年11月从美国马萨诸塞州联邦地区法院高级法官职位退休的马克·沃尔夫（Mark Wolf），曾被调查所谓的不当行为，但由于他的辞职，该调查已被取消。
沃尔夫于1985年由时任总统里根任命，去年在一篇评论文章中直指总统唐纳德·特朗普，解释了他退出司法界的原因。
“我的理由很简单：我再也无法忍受法官在公开场合或法庭外的行为受到限制。唐纳德·特朗普总统正将法律用于党派目的，针对他的对手，却放过他的朋友和捐赠者免受调查、起诉和可能的惩罚。这与我在司法部和法庭工作50多年来所坚持的一切背道而驰，”他在文章中表示。

“白宫对法治的冲击令我深感不安，我觉得必须发声。对我来说，沉默现在是无法忍受的，”他写道。

“我进行了有限的调查……包括分别对涉事法官和前法律助理进行了长时间的口头采访，审查了这些采访的书面摘要，与涉事法官进行了几次交谈，并审查了涉事法官提交的大量书面材料，”巴伦写道。
“这些采访由经验丰富的调查人员进行，”脚注澄清道。
“然而，由于后续事件，对该投诉采取进一步行动已不再必要，”巴伦指出，并根据《美国法典》第28编第352(b)(2)条，裁定投诉已结束。

Mark Wolf, who in November retired from his post as senior judge with the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, was the subject of an inquiry into alleged misconduct that was nixed due to his resignation, NPR reported, citing a source familiar with the probe.
Wolf, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1985, pointed to President Donald Trump last year in an opinion piece explaining his reason for stepping down from the judiciary.
“My reason is simple: I no longer can bear to be restrained by what judges can say publicly or do outside the courtroom. President Donald Trump is using the law for partisan purposes, targeting his adversaries while sparing his friends and donors from investigation, prosecution, and possible punishment. This is contrary to everything that I have stood for in my more than 50 years in the Department of Justice and on the bench,” he asserted in the piece.

“The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable,” he wrote.
In a Nov. 24, 2025, order, Chief Judge David Barron of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit noted that a former law clerk of a district judge had alleged misconduct.

“I conducted a limited inquiry … which included lengthy oral interviews of the subject judge and the former law clerk, respectively, review of the written summary of these interviews, several conversations with the subject judge, and review of a number of written submissions from the subject judge,” Barron wrote.
“The interviews were conducted by designees who are experienced in such investigations,” a footnote clarified.
“However, further ‘action on the complaint is no longer necessary because of intervening events,’ and, accordingly, the complaint is concluded pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 352(b)(2),” Barron noted.

The website of Todd & Weld LLP indicates that Wolf is senior counsel. Fox News Digital reached out on Friday to request a comment from the retired judge.
“Chief Judge Denise J. Casper notes that ‘Judge Wolf has served on this Court with distinction for over four decades,’” a November press release about Wolf’s retirement from the federal court stated.
