Judge Tanya Chutkan, Confirmed by Senate Republicans in 2014, to Preside Over Former President Donald Trump’s Latest Indictment

Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, has been assigned to preside over former President Donald Trump's latest indictment. Despite Senate Republicans' attempts to undermine her credibility, they unanimously voted to confirm her in 2014. Chutkan has established a reputation for imposing tough penalties on rioters who participated in the 2021 attack on the Capitol, including handing down the longest sentence of just over five years.
