Former President Donald Trump's federal criminal indictment over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election was randomly assigned to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who happens to have expressed her dismay for his behavior before.
The Washington Post reported that Chutkan, an Obama appointee, was one of the first federal judges in Washington D.C. to heavily scrutinize Trump's attempts to invoke executive privilege to refuse to turn over White House communications to members of the House select committee investigating the deadly Capitol attacks.
