During the latest episode of his podcast Verdict, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) unloaded on District Judge Tanya Chutkan —the judge who will be overseeing Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 case.
Cruz says she has a “reputation for being far left.”
“In terms of the judge, we can anticipate a judge who is going to be relentlessly hostile to Donald Trump, who is going to bend over backward for the Biden [Department of Justice], and who is going to make ruling after ruling after ruling against Trump,” Cruz said.
Cruz believes the chances of Trump getting convicted are “exceptionally high” because of the number of Democrats in Washington D.C., where Trump is expected to stand trial.
“They are not Donald Trump supporters,” Cruz said. “The likelihood that a D.C. jury will vote to convict Donald Trump is exceptionally high, and the facts don’t matter. The laws don’t matter. They hate him.”
“That’s a big part of the reason why the Biden DOJ wants to bring this case in D.C.,” he continued, “which means with a far-left judge and a far-left jury, there is a very real possibility that Donald Trump ends up being convicted.”
