Judge Tanya Chutkan was appointed by former President Barack Obama in 2014 to serve as a US District Judge. Prior to her appointment, she had an extensive legal career, including working as an attorney and later becoming a partner at Boies Schiller & Flexner LLP (BSF). Interestingly, during her time at BSF, she overlapped with Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, who also served as an attorney at the firm from 2009 to 2014.

Allegations of Bias in Judge Chutkan's Rulings

Conservatives have expressed concerns about Judge Chutkan's impartiality based on her previous rulings, particularly those related to the January 6th incident at the Capitol. Critics argue that her rulings have shown a severe bias towards individuals arrested for their involvement in the event. This has led to doubts about whether she can provide a fair trial for former President Trump in the ongoing case.
