LOADING ERROR LOADINGFormer federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann said Donald Trump’s attempt to get Judge Tanya Chutkan to recuse herself from his federal election obstruction case has no chance of success. “I don’t think that Donald Trump’s lawyers actually think they’re going to win,” he told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell. Trump’s attorneys argued that comments Chutkan made when sentencing defendants in cases related to Jan. 6, 2021, indicate she has “prejudged” Trump. “That can involve other people ― people who are charged, and people who are not charged.”AdvertisementHe said the filings show Trump’s lawyers aren’t really in control. “This is the kind of filing that you just don’t make ― and you don’t make it at this time,” he said.
