Trump demands Judge Chutkan recuse herself from federal election case in new filing

Raw Story  

Former President Donald Trump has made a legal motion formally asking D.C. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to recuse herself from the federal election charges against him, reported The Messenger on Monday. The key focus of the request, said the report, is commentary Chutkan made during the trial of Christine Priola, a Northern Ohio woman sentenced to 15 months in federal prison for her role in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, which appeared to reference the former president. "This was nothing less than an attempt to violently overthrow the government, the legally, lawfully, peacefully elected government, by individuals who were mad that their guy lost," said Chutkan in her comments. "The case for refusing Judge Cannon in Florida would be far stronger & so far, the govt has not chosen to bring it."
