Deep dives
Trump's attorneys seek recusal of Judge Chetkin
Trump's attorneys have filed a motion to recuse Judge Tanya Chetkin, alleging bias based on her comments in previous January 6th cases. However, these comments were not explicitly about Trump. The defense cites 18 U.S.C. Section 455A, arguing that the judge's impartiality is reasonably questioned. Despite the defense's claims, Judge Chetkin has shown no clear bias and has allowed the defense ample time to present their arguments in court. Overall, it is unlikely that the motion for recusal will be ruled in favor of Trump.
