In a fiery court filing on Sunday, Donald Trump’s lawyers accused Joe Biden of launching a calculated attack to eliminate his political rival. The lawyers are now demanding that Judge Tanya Chutkan be removed from Trump’s federal case, claiming that her previous biased comments about Trump jeopardize her ability to be impartial. Specifically, Chutkan had publicly wondered why Trump had not been charged over the events of January 6th.

Trump’s legal team argues that Chutkan’s remarks demonstrate her clear hostility towards Trump and undermine the legitimacy of the ongoing proceedings. They go as far as calling it a “show trial” orchestrated by Biden himself, aiming to undermine Trump’s chance of reemerging as a political force. Trump’s lawyers even hilariously pointed out the irony of Chutkan comparing Trump to an aspiring tyrant, noting that no president is a king but that every president has constitutional rights.
However, Democrats dismiss these accusations as baseless and claim that the four indictments against Trump are purely a matter of justice, devoid of any political motive. Prosecutors, led by Jack Smith, have requested a gag order to prevent Trump’s comments from potentially influencing the jury pool in Washington D.C., where an overwhelming majority voted for Joe Biden. Smith argues that Trump’s inflammatory statements can undermine the integrity of the proceedings.
Yet, Trump remains defiant, asserting his right to comment on the trial and criticizing Biden’s alleged weaponization of the DOJ and FBI against him. Trump argues that he is being silenced while his opponents leak, lie, and sue with impunity. In true Trump fashion, he concludes his response to the gag order request by characterizing Smith as “deranged” and Biden as “incompetent.”
In this ongoing legal battle, it’s clear that tensions are high and emotions are running wild. One thing is for sure: the clash between Trump and Biden shows no signs of cooling down anytime soon, and the courtroom drama continues to captivate the nation.
