Republicans and conservatives blasted United States District Judge for the District of Columbia Tanya Chutkan for setting a trial date of March 4, 2024, for former President Donald Trump.
Conservative members of Congress like Republican Rep. Byron Donalds and conservative legal figures like Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch ripped Chutkan after she rejected a request from Trump’s attorneys for a 2026 trial date on the four-count indictment of Trump relating to his efforts to contest the results of the 2020 election secured by special counsel Jack Smith, scheduling it for the day prior to the Super Tuesday primaries. Trump also faces a March 25 trial date over an indictment secured by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in a case centered around a $130,000 payout to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
“MARCH 4?!?! The DAY BEFORE Super Tuesday?!?!?” Donalds tweeted. “Their attempts to interfere with the 2024 presidential election are so brazen it’s disgusting. Judge Chutkan should be thrown off the bench and run for DNC Chair.”
