A courtroom sketch shows Judge Tanya Chutkan in discussion with Donald Trump’s attorneys. On Friday, Donald Trump referred to the judge overseeing his criminal election interference case in Washington, D.C., as “the most evil person” for ordering the disclosure of nearly 1,900 pages of previously sealed documents submitted by prosecutors. Trump implied that U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan made these documents public to damage the Republican presidential nominee’s prospects in the upcoming election in November. “This situation is terrible, and the judge is, in my opinion, the most evil person,” Trump remarked on Dan Bongino’s podcast. “What kind of judge would decide to release something just a couple of days before?” The former president expressed disbelief, stating that it was “not even believable” for Chutkan to have made the filings from special counsel Jack Smith public, whom he referred to as “a sick puppy.” “They plan to announce something else, and it will be before the election,” Trump stated. “They want to get it done before the election.” Thus, interference in elections. Smith has accused Trump of offenses linked to his efforts to reverse his defeat in the 2020 election against President Joe Biden. Read more coverage of politics on CNBC.
