Former President Trump on Monday formally demanded the recusal of the federal judge overseeing his 2020 election subversion case in Washington, D.C.
Trump’s attorneys cited statements U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan made while sentencing two previous Jan. 6 defendants that appeared to reference Trump, arguing the comments create a perception that Chutkan prejudged Trump’s guilt before he was charged.
Judges that are going to recuse themselves do so before they take on the case. This is both a stalling tactic and a fundraising technique. He probably already has the fundraising emails ready to go decrying the rigged liberal judge that refuses to recuse.
Yup. These meritless motions are done just to make news headlines. Habba, one of Trump’s lawyers, was previously fined $1,000,000 for filing frivolous motions for the purpose of political grandstanding.
Habba the jutt?
