#Trump’s lawyers have until Monday to explain why he should not be subject to a limited #GagOrder restricting what he can say about the #ElectionObstruction case he faces in #DC. Earlier this month, prosecutors asked US District Judge Tanya #Chutkan to issue the gag order — arguing that Trump’s incendiary comments about the case could #intimidate #witnesses & make it hard to find an #impartial #jury.

#Trump demands recusal by Judge #Chutkan in #federal #Jan6 prosecution
#Attorneys for Trump on Monday asked US District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan to disqualify herself from presiding over his federal #ElectionObstruction case, asserting that Chutkan in past cases involving #Jan6, 2021, riot defendants made statements that give the appearance that she has prejudged Trump’s guilt.
(Not going to happen)

(The #HatchAct) …prohibits govt ofcls from using their ofcl roles to #influence an #election. They say #Meadows saw “no distinction” between his WH work & the #Trump campaign & have pressed Jones to deny Meadows’ petition — an outcome which could have sweeping effect on other current & future #removal requests in the case, incl’g Trump’s expected petition.

The written #plea was filed Thurs by #SteveSadow, an #Atlanta #criminal #defense #attorney who was tapped Aug 24 to lead TFG’s #Georgia-based #legal team. The #CourtFiling means #Trump won’t return to ATL on Wed, where #FultonCounty Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee… has scheduled a series of #arraignment #hearings for Trump & the 18 #CoDefendants in the sprawling criminal #racketeering case.

Her appeal echoes a concern that #Chutkan raised at an Aug. 11 #hearing in the case. She indicated then that #Trump’s public statements — which are unusual in a #federal #criminal case, & the type of behavior that tends to anger judges — suggest that the #trial should happen quickly to avoid WitnessTampering & #influencing potential #jurors.

#Prosecutor Molly Gaston just told Judge #Chutkan that the DC #ElectionObstruction case against #Trump should happen “as soon as possible” because TFG has been posting on #SocialMedia on a near-daily basis about the case & talking about #witnesses & #evidence, among other things.
“This potentially #prejudices the #jury pool,” #Gaston said. “And so under the #SpeedyTrialAct, Your Honor, we need to find a time for trial as soon as the #defense can reasonably be ready.”
