The federal judge overseeing the 2020 presidential election case against former President Donald Trump raised the point last year that Trump was still “free” after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who has overseen a number of cases against Jan. 6 rioters, made the observation while sentencing one of them in October, a revelation that comes as critics raise concerns about perceived bias in Chutkan's background. “I see the footage of the flags and the signs that people were carrying and the hats they were wearing and the garb, and the people who mobbed that Capitol...

Judge Tanya Chutkan will preside over the Trump Jan. 6 trial despite clear prejudice in prior rulings and her support for Black Lives Matter.Former President Donald Trump was never going to get a fair trial in Washington, D.C., especially with a jury plucked from a pool that voted for President Joe Biden 92 to 5 percent and a federal judge who has had it out for Trump and his supporters.That’s why Trump’s legal team is angling for the case to be moved outside the swamp that he pledged to “drain” in a second term. The indictment from earlier this month,...

'The more a party makes inflammatory statements about this case … the greater the urgency will be that we proceed to trial quickly.’ U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan warned Donald Trump and his attorney Friday that repeated “inflammatory” statements about his latest criminal prosecution would force her to speed his trial on charges related to his bid to subvert the 2020 election. “I caution you and your client to take special care in your public statements about this case,” Chutkan told Trump lawyer John Lauro during a hearing. “I will take whatever measures are necessary to safeguard the integrity of...

The left-wing district judge in charge of overseeing the Biden administration’s criminal prosecution against former President Donald Trump over his First Amendment right to claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen confirmed to her court on Friday that the Republican’s third presidential campaign is subject to interference by her and federal prosecutors. Tanya Chutkan, the U.S. District Judge in Washington D.C., not only admitted during proceedings that she finds the pure existence of Trump’s 2024 run a threat to the government’s Jan. 6 case against him but also that she has no issues legally curbing his speech on the...

On Tuesday morning, Donald Trump’s legal team made what most would consider a very normal, reasonable request. Yet, it was quickly denied in a move that previews really rough seas ahead for the former president. The controversy surrounds a hearing on a recent DOJ-requested protective order against Trump relating to a post he made on Truth Social attacking Mike Pence. Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing the D.C.-based election-related case, quickly set a hearing date of August 11th. The problem? It wasn’t immediately clear that either of Trump’s primary lawyers could make that date. That led to a request that...

In a court order filed Saturday afternoon, Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled Trump's legal team must respond to the special counsel's motion by Monday at 5 p.m. The order comes after the DOJ issued a court filing at about 10 p.m. on Friday, calling attention to a message Trump posted on his Truth Social account that prosecutors say raises concerns the former president...

As noted in Politico describing President Trump’s court appearance yesterday, “Minutes before Trump entered the pin-drop silent room, several federal judges — who have been processing the carnage of Jan. 6, 2021 for more than two years — filed into the public gallery, turning themselves into spectators in a building they typically rule. Chief Judge James Boasberg, who presided over several of the secret grand jury battles that preceded the charges against Trump, was among those marking the moment.”[…] “Boasberg’s presence in the courtroom was a statement in itself. Alongside him was Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who has in her...

Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is rallying behind the “need” for a new federal judge in the case accusing former President Donald Trump of conspiring to reverse the 2020 election. But Graham has come across the judge’s name before. In fact, he voted to confirm her to the federal judiciary less than a decade ago. Graham, in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday, argued that “any conviction” against Trump isn’t legitimate in the nation’s capital and claimed that Obama-nominated U.S. District Judge Tanya...
