Trump calls judge overseeing his Jan. 6 case 'the most evil person'
SUMMARY
Donald Trump recently referred to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan as "the most evil person" during a podcast with Dan Bongino, voicing his frustration with the judge overseeing his January 6-related case. He reacted to Chutkan's public release of new documents, which Trump condemned as "election interference," stating, “What judge would do that? Forget about deranged Jack Smith. You know, a judge is supposed to keep—what judge would say, ‘We’re going to release something, you know, a couple of days before'?” Trump also took aim at special counsel Jack Smith, labeling him "a sick puppy." He argued that the judicial process is biased against him; "They all said, 'well, make sure you don’t get Chutkan.' And who did I get? I got Chutkan." Trump continues to maintains his innocence, arguing that these legal challenges are politically motivated efforts to undermine his 2024 presidential campaign.
