CBS News reports:
Attorneys for former President Donald Trump want a new judge in his 2020 election interference case. In a filing Monday, they argued that Judge Tanya Chutkan should recuse herself from the case for previous statements they say give the appearance of bias.
They did not outright accuse Chutkan of being biased against Trump, but highlighted statements they claimed “create a perception of prejudgment incompatible with our justice system.”
“Judge Chutkan has, in connection with other cases, suggested that President Trump should be prosecuted and imprisoned. Such statements, made before this case began and without due process, are inherently disqualifying,” Trump’s attorneys wrote in the filing.

Trump asks Tanya Chutkan to recuse bc she said things abt January 6 virtually indistinguishable from what most other DC judges have said about the sad sacks whose lives Trump convinced to squander, including the Trump appointees. Desperate man playing stupid journalists.
