Former President Donald Trump will face a federal judge in his alleged election subversion case who has a noted history of giving some of the lengthiest sentences to defendants involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
The case will be overseen by Judge Tanya Chutkan, an appointee of former President Barack Obama who has presided over several cases involving the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and is known to hand down sentences longer than what was recommended by prosecutors who brought the charges.
For example, during a sentencing hearing in October 2021 for Texas resident Matt Mazzocco, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for unauthorized entry into the Capitol building, the judge described the recommended sentence as too lenient. Chutkan was also notable in the role she played during the House Jan. 6 investigation, rejecting the former president's efforts to block White House records from being given to Congress.
“It has to be made clear that trying to violently overthrow the government, trying to stop the peaceful transition of power and assaulting law enforcement officers in that effort is going to be met with absolutely certain punishment,” she wrote in one Capitol riot defendant's case.
