The former US president argued that Tanya Chutkan’s prior statements would taint the case proceedings.
Former US president Donald Trump filed a legal motion asking Tanya Chutkan to step aside from the case on Monday. .
Smith, whose office is prosecuting the case against Trump, said there was “no valid basis” for US district judge Tanya Chutkan to recuse herself from the case over prior statements she made in court that appeared to reference Trump’s responsibility for the Jan 6, 2021, attack by his supporters on the US Capitol.
The filing cited remarks Chutkan made at two sentencing hearings for defendants convicted of taking part in the Capitol riot, including one in which she said rioters were motivated by “blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day.” The case, which accuses Trump of three schemes to try to overturn his defeat by Democratic President Joe Biden, is one of four criminal cases facing Trump as he runs to retake the White House. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and accused prosecutors of political motivations.
