Tayna Chutkan has been a public defender, a high-powered private attorney and a Jan. 6 judge. Now she presides over Donald Trump’s D.C. election case.
Former president Donald Trump’s lawyer stood in court in late August before Tanya S. Chutkan and told her he planned to challenge Trump’s case as a politically motivated violation of the First Amendment that would be decided by residents of a hopelessly biased city.Trump’s lawyers soon after put Chutkan on the list of complaints, arguing the judgebecause her comments in past cases involving the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot make it impossible for her to give him a fair trial.
“Mr. Trump will be treated exactly, with no more or less deference, than any other defendant would be treated,” she told his attorneys in August. He predicted similar treatment for Trump. “I think she will give him a fair trial,” Osgood said. “If he’s convicted, she will be harsh with him at sentencing.”“There’s a lot of problems with the justice system in this country, but I can tell you, and I’m telling you this as an immigrant, I don’t know any place that does it better,” ChutkanChutkan, who declined to comment for this story, was born in Kingston to parents of African and Indian heritage.
“You know, that’s actually a myth,” she said. “It is very hot and very humid, but it was not a swamp.”With their multicultural upbringing and all-girls education, she and her sister were able to grow up free of negative stereotypes tied to their race and gender, Robynne Chutkan said. Classmates remember her as serious and impressive even three decades ago, unafraid to jump in and answer questions other students tried to avoid.and Chutkan were legal writing fellows, paid to help younger students with legal writing. She was also an associate editor of the law review at the University of Pennsylvania. “She has the right temperament, the right skill set.”After law school, Chutkan worked for four years as a law firm associate before leaving to become a public defender.
