The judges presiding over the cases against former President Trump have garnered significant attention, with some even facing threats and scrutiny. Tanya S. Chutkan has been appointed as the judge for Trump’s third indictment, which revolves around his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Major media outlets including the Washington Post, the Hill, ABC News, CNN, and Axios are closely examining Chutkan and the process through which she was selected for this case.
- Background: Chutkan, originally from Jamaica, pursued her education at George Washington University and the University of Pennsylvania law school. She has extensive experience as both a public defender and a private attorney. In 2014, President Obama appointed her to the US District Court for the District of Columbia, and she received unanimous confirmation from the Senate.
- Selection for the Trump case: According to the Washington Post, the assignment of Chutkan to the case was essentially a random draw. This random process aims to prevent prosecutors from strategically selecting judges or judges from manipulating case allocation. Further details on this process can be found here.
