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.

    I do have to say…I’m loving Lemmy just for the crowd. Normally on Reddit, I’d be sorting through a mass of racist shitheads defending their shithead leader for an article like this, but most people here are just having conversations, whether they agree with the position of the linked content or not.

    It’s nice.
