Judge Tanya Chutkan attacked former President Donald Trump for daring to use “political rhetoric” in his latest court filing despite being in the middle of a presidential election.

After receiving a request from Trump’s attorneys to further suppress the already extensively redacted document, she decided to unseal the evidence in his election fraud case. Chutkan, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., wrote on Wednesday that Trump’s arguments were loaded with political commentary and did not address the pertinent matter.

“Defendant’s opposition brief repeatedly accuses the government of bad-faith partisan bias. These accusations, for which Defendant provides no support, continue a pattern of defense filings focusing on political rhetoric rather than addressing the legal issues at hand,” Chutkan wrote, according to Newsweek.

Chutkan added: “Not only is that focus [on political rhetoric] unresponsive and unhelpful to the court, but it is also unbefitting of experienced defense counsel and undermining of the judicial proceedings in this case. The defendant has had an opportunity to make his case that his prosecution is improperly motivated. Future filings should be directed to the issues before the court.”

In relation to an alleged pressure campaign on state officials to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Trump is accused of conspiring to defraud the United States, conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiring against rights.

Trump maintains that he is the target of a political witch hunt and has refuted all of the accusations made against him. By pursuing Smith, he has charged Smith with trying to rig the 2024 presidential election.

This comes as the presidential election is just 30 days away.

Voters are more confident that former President Donald Trump will emerge as the President of the United States again than they are in his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.

A new survey by Rasmussen Reports shared last week showed that the voters surveyed believed that the former president would emerge victorious, though the margin was not massive.

The question posed to the people surveyed was, “Regardless of who you plan to vote for, who do you think is most likely to win the presidential election?”

The survey found that 45 percent of likely voters believe the former president will regain the White House, 43 percent believe it would be the vice president and 11 percent are not certain.

But when broken into party affiliation, the numbers show almost identical percentages have confidence in their candidate.

Among Democrats, the survey showed that 76 percent believe that Harris will win, while only 16 percent believe Trump will defeat her, with seven percent who are not certain.

Among Republicans, 77 percent said they believe the former president will recapture the White House, while 16 percent believe the vice president will be the next president and seven percent are not certain.

Remarkably similar numbers from the two camps.

But a plurality of those who identify as independents believe that Trump will defeat Harris by a wide margin of 45 percent to 36 percent while 19 percent, of independent voters say they are not certain.

“Among those who say they’ll vote for Harris, 87% say she is most likely to win, compared to 82% of Trump voters who think he is the most likely winner. It’s among undecided voters that Trump has a decisive advantage on this question, with 35% believing him to be most likely to win, compared to just three percent (3%) who see Harris as the likely winner,” the report said.

And the former president has continued to gain ground on the vice president in both national and state polls, a new Marist poll showed.

“While Harris (71%) is ahead of Trump (28%) among likely voters who plan to cast their ballot by mail or absentee ballot, Trump (58%) has the advantage over Harris (40%) among those who plan to vote on Election Day. Those who plan to vote at an early voting location divide (50% for Trump to 48% for Harris).

Trump (53%) leads Harris (45%) among white voters who are likely to cast a ballot. Harris (60%) is ahead of Trump (39%) among non-white voters, although still behind Biden’s showing among these voters in 2020 (71%),” it said.
