Donald Trump doesn’t believe he can get a fair trial with Judge Tanya Chutkan —he’s not too crazy about the trial being held in Washington D.C., either.
Trump and his legal team are out to change all that.
“THERE IS NO WAY I CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL WITH THE JUDGE ‘ASSIGNED’ TO THE RIDICULOUS FREEDOM OF SPEECH/FAIR ELECTIONS CASE,” Trump posted Sunday morning on Truth Social.
“EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS, AND SO DOES SHE! WE WILL BE IMMEDIATELY ASKING FOR RECUSAL OF THIS JUDGE ON VERY POWERFUL GROUNDS, AND LIKEWISE FOR VENUE CHANGE, OUT IF D.C.,” he added.
Trump also called D.C. a “crime-riddled” embarrassment.
NO WAY I CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL, OR EVEN CLOSE TO A FAIR TRIAL, IN WASHINGTON, D.C. THERE ARE MANY REASONS FOR THIS, BUT JUST ONE IS THAT I AM CALLING FOR A FEDERAL TAKEOVER OF THIS FILTHY AND CRIME RIDDEN EMBARRASSMENT TO OUR NATION, WHERE MURDERS HAVE JUST SHATTERED THE ALL TIME RECORD, OTHER VIOLENT CRIMES HAVE NEVER NEEN WORSE, AND TOURISTS HAVE FLED. THE FEDERAL TAKEOVER IS VERY UNPOPULAR WITH POTENTIAL AREA JURORS, BUT NECESSARY FOR SAFETY, GREATNESS, & FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE!
From The New York Post:
Chutkan, who did not oversee the former president’s arraignment Thursday but is presiding over the case, has a reputation for being a harsh “punisher” of Trump supporters who stormed the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
She is widely regarded as much tougher than Florida federal Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, who is presiding over the case accusing him of hoarding top-secret documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach.
Chutkan was randomly selected to preside over what is now the third criminal indictment lodged against Trump. She was nominated to the bench by former President Barack Obama.
The 61-year-old judge recently rejected a bid from Trump’s legal team seeking more time to respond to the Justice Department’s request for her to issue a protective order limiting what information he can publicly share about the case.
Can Trump and his team successfully change the judge and the venue? They say it’s the only way he can get a fair trial.
