In a bid to show support for former President Donald Trump amidst his legal troubles, Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) has introduced a new piece of legislation. The proposed legislation aims to censure and investigate Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing Trump’s criminal case pertaining to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

The legislation, if passed, would initiate an inquiry into Judge Chutkan’s actions and conduct. Gaetz is capitalizing on Chutkan’s reputation for imposing stricter sentences on January 6th rioters than what prosecutors had requested. He also accuses her of favoring the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. According to Gaetz, her actions demonstrate political bias and a disregard for impartiality and the rule of law. Gaetz points to Chutkan’s past political contributions to President Obama’s campaign and her statements about the protests and the January 6th riot as evidence of her bias.

In response, Judge Chutkan maintains that her decisions are not influenced by partisan politics, emphasizing her commitment to keeping politics out of her judgments.

Trump, at the center of the criminal charges related to the efforts to overturn the 2020 election, faces multiple indictments that include conspiracy and obstruction. The charges stem from allegations that he pressured officials to overturn the election results and disrupted the certification process.

It is worth noting that Trump also faces other criminal cases at both the federal and state levels, pertaining to various aspects of his campaign to contest the election and other alleged actions.
