Trump calls judge overseeing his Jan. 6 case ‘the most evil person’

Former President Donald Trump criticized the judge overseeing his Jan. 6-related federal criminal case and special counsel Jack Smith during a podcast appearance, calling them “evil” and “sick.” Trump was upset over the release of heavily redacted documents that were already public, which he deemed as “election interference.” The judge, Tanya Chutkan, has faced threats from Trump supporters in the past. Despite facing four charges in the case, Trump has pleaded not guilty. The case revolves around the contention that Trump knew the election lies he spread were false. Chutkan has been targeted by Trump supporters, with one woman arrested for making threats against her.
