The Enormous Pressures About to Land on Judge Tanya Chutkan

Politico  

Put simply, will she really force a presidential nominee to sit in court in the final days of a campaign rather than hit the trail in Wisconsin? Chutkan has said she would give Trump several months to prepare for trial, so if the case comes back to her from the Supreme Court in June, she could be looking at the prospect of a trial beginning in September or later. The policies are intended to protect defendants from significant investigative and pre-trial steps that could become public and influence voters prior to an election but before the defendant has an opportunity to fairly respond in court; they do not apply to a full trial before an election, nor do they constitute some sort of free-floating constraint on the Justice Department’s obligation to the American public to enforce our federal criminal laws, even if doing so might burden a high-profile candidate’s campaign or annoy his supporters. In fact, the Justice Department itself confirmed this interpretation of the relevant policies in court on Friday during a hearing in Trump’s classified-documents case in Florida, where trial scheduling has also been at issue. She might also face blowback from Trump’s political opposition if she adjourns the trial past the election, though that would likely be far less intense.
