former President Donald Trump"with conspiring to defraud the United States, conspiring to disenfranchise voters, and conspiring and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding," in relation to his actions around the 2020 presidential election and its aftermath on Jan. 6, 2021.
The indictment was filed in the U. S. District Court in Washington, D.C., and the judge assigned to the case — Judge Tanya Chutkan — was chosen at random from a pool of about 20 judges of that court. Asby The Washington Post, this pool of judges has been steeped in cases related to the riotous, deadly events of Jan. 6, in which Trump supporters attempted to stop the counting of electoral college votes for U.S. President-elect Joe Biden at the U.S. Capitol.
Following her appointment to the Trump case, critics sought to identify allegedly nefarious connections in her professional history. As several Trump allies have, both Chutkan and the current president's son, Hunter Biden, worked at the high-end law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP . It is a fact that Hunter Biden and Chutkan were both employed by, or partners of, BSF. It is also factual that BSF provided services to the Ukrainian oil company Burisma, on whose board Hunter Biden served.
