As you read the nine-page motion filed by the Trump lawyers requesting DC Judge Tanya Chutkan to recuse herself [pdf HERE], please keep in mind all judges in the DC District expected this. That’s why they sat in the back of the courtroom during the Trump indictment proceedings. {Go Deep}
“Although Judge Chutkan may genuinely intend to give President Trump a fair trial—and may believe that she can do so—her public statements unavoidably taint these proceedings, regardless of outcome,” Trump’s lawyers wrote. “The public will reasonably and understandably question whether Judge Chutkan arrived at all of her decisions in this matter impartially, or in fulfillment of her prior negative statements regarding President Trump.”
The legal team with President Trump is asking Chutkan to direct the court clerk to randomly assign this case to another district judge. However, this is where the previous visible support for Chutkan by the entire district of judges comes into play. Beyond the prejudicial statements previously delivered by Judge Chutkan, which are quite extraordinary, it must be remembered the Chutkan came from Boies Schiller law firm.
While she worked for Boies Schiller, her firm represented Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS against congress. {Go Deep} Additionally, Boies Schiller was representing Hunter Biden in his legal defense. Chutkan is enmeshed in the original Russiagate storyline and the later developing Hunter Biden storyline, in addition to her activist work against the J6 defendants.
Team Trump is asking Chutkan to consider the recusal request on an expedited basis and not rule on any other pending motions until this issue is determined.
