"It is deeply concerning that a United States District Court judge would exhibit such blatant political bias from the bench," said the Republican congressman Matt Gaetz before submitting a resolution to censure and convict Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is presiding over Trump’s January 6 case.
Gaetz claims she "inappropriately expressed support" towards the BLM protests in 2020. He says she handed down "multiple tough sentences to non-violent January 6th defendants." He also claims that at a 2020 hearing Chutkan expressed her disappointment that the former president "remains free to this day" and that she had donated "thousands of dollars" to support the candidacy of Barack Obama.
