The former president assures that he will not have a fair trial in the “disgusting” Washington DC and calls for a change of court
MADRID, 6 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The former president of the United States Donald Trump has assured this Sunday that he will request the recusal of Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, who is investigating the case against the president for trying to illegally revoke the result of the 2020 elections and will request a change of court on the understanding that you will not be able to have a “fair trial” in Washington DC, where the proceedings take place.
“It is impossible for him to have a fair trial, or something minimally similar, in Washington DC,” declared the former president, who considers the country’s capital an emblem of bureaucracy and street violence that he tried to oppose during his tenure, in various messages posted on his Truth Social platform.
“For many reasons but the first is that we must call for the federal takeover of this filthy city, a nest of crime that shames our nation, where murders have shattered all historical records and the tourists have left,” Trump said. . The capital has certain autonomous powers with respect to the rest of the country, it should be remembered, always under the supervision of the US Congress, of which it is the headquarters.
Trump then addressed the team of “lunatic” special counsel Jack Smith and his “very corrupt Department of Justice” for bringing this case “precisely in the middle of an election campaign”, referring to his new candidacy for the presidential election in 2024.
Finally, the former president has questioned the random election system of Judge Chutkan. “It is impossible for him to receive a fair trial with this judge that they have ‘assigned’ for this ridiculous case,” said the former president. “Everyone knows this, and so does she,” he added.
In conclusion, Trump has concluded his message by announcing that his legal team “will immediately request the recusal of the judge” for “very compelling reasons” as well as a change of venue, without giving further details.
The former president faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for conspiring to prevent Congress from certifying the results collected at the polls and a sentence of ten years in prison for conspiring against the right to vote. Finally, the fourth charge carries a sentence of 20 years in prison for attempting to obstruct the certification of the ballots.
Trump has ensured that these accusations will not have the slightest impact on his campaign to return to the White House in next year’s presidential elections, which he is currently starting as the top undisputed favorite for the final nomination of the Republican Party.
