"A judge's rulings should never be affected by political ideology or motivation.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who has been outspoken in her sentencing of defendants charged in the attack on the U.S. Capitol, will preside over former President Donald Trump's lawsuit seeking to block a congressional committee from obtaining records about Jan. 6.
Trump, represented by attorney Jesse Binnall, filed the lawsuit Tuesday, asking for a judge to throw out subpoenas issued by a congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack, and to prevent federal officials from providing the requested records. The Biden White House declined to invoke executive privilege over the documents.
