That ain’t gonna happen….
But the ex-President IS trying EVERYTHING to try to beat the criminal charges against him…..
He’s in DEEP SHIT…….
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.
“Judge Chutkan has, in connection with other cases, suggested that President Trump should be prosecuted and imprisoned,” Trump’s attorneys wrote in court filings.
“Such statements, made before this case began and without due process, are inherently disqualifying,” they continued. “Although Judge Chutkan may genuinely intend to give President Trump a fair trial — and may believe that she can do so — her public statements unavoidably taint these proceedings, regardless of outcome.”
The Hill left a message with Chutkan’s chambers requesting comment on the former president’s recusal motion.
Trump faces four criminal counts in the case stemming from his alleged efforts to remain in power following the 2020 election. Trump pleaded not guilty last month.
It isn’t the first time Trump has attacked the judges overseeing his criminal cases. He previously unsuccessfully sought the recusal of the judge overseeing his hush money criminal case in New York, and Trump has repeatedly lashed out at Chutkan and other judges on Truth Social. He and his team previously indicated they would seek Chutkan’s recusal in this case…..

Everything Judge Chutkan said is 💯 true. She deals with a J6 defendant’s argument that higher ups have not been prosecuted and say it’s true but irrelevant. Trump now says that is a reference to him, which is an admission he exhorted the violence on J6.

A careful reading of this excerpt from Trump’s recusal brief shows it’s not Judge Chutkan who has expressed the view that P01135809 “was responsible for the events of January 6,” but rather Trump’s lawyers, via *their* assumption that their client planned the attack.
