The Two Federal Judges Who Will Handle the Trump Indictments

Ellie Kohn: The two federal judges who will handle the Trump indictments are in some respects bound by common histories. She says Tanya Chuckin ascended to the bench upon her nomination by President Barack Obama and confirmation by the U.S. Senate by a 95 to zero vote in 2014. Eileen Cannon is a Trump nominee confirmed in 2020, hers by 5621 with a dozen Democrats voting for her. Both earned their robes after careers trying cases in the same courts over which they now preside., she writes.
