Obama-Appointed Federal Judge Rejects Trump's Bid For Recusal In Election Dispute Case

Written By BlabberBuzz | Thursday, 28 September 2023 21:20

In a recent development, Tanya S. Chutkan, a federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama, dismissed a plea from former President Donald Trump requesting her to step down from a case concerning his dispute over the 2020 election results.

The motion was turned down by Judge Chutkan in a comprehensive 20-page opinion. The request for recusal was made by Trump's legal team, who pointed to remarks made by the judge during the sentencing of two individuals linked to the Capitol building riot on January 6, 2021.

In the aftermath of the riot, special counsel Jack Smith secured a four-count indictment against Trump on August 1, related to his attempts to challenge the 2020 election results. This followed a 37-count indictment against Trump in June, stemming from an investigation into allegations concerning classified documents.

During the sentencing hearing for Christine Priola, one of the defendants, Judge Chutkan stated, "[T]he people who mobbed that Capitol were there in fealty, in loyalty, to one man — not to the Constitution, of which most of the people who come before me seem woefully ignorant; not to the ideals of this country; and not to the principles of democracy. It’s a blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day."

While sentencing Robert Scott Palmer, another defendant from the riot case, she said, "The issue of who has or has not been charged is not before me. I don’t have any influence on that. I have my opinions, but they are not relevant."

In her ruling, Judge Chutkan refuted allegations that her comments during the sentencing hearings indicated any bias. She clarified, "The court has never taken the position the defense ascribes to it: that former ‘President Trump should be prosecuted and imprisoned.'"
