Judge Tanya Chutkan physically showed her ‘exasperation’ with President Trump’s lawyer throughout oral arguments at the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. on Friday, rolling her eyes and putting her face in her hands according to Guardian press reporter Hugo Lowell.
Lowell remained in the courtroom and explained the judge’s behavior in an interview with Katie Phang on MSNBC on Saturday.
The hearing was held for an emergency situation demand by Special Counsel Jack Smith to restrict what Trump can state about the case in public. Lowell stated sometimes Chutkan appeared considerate to points made by Trump’s lawyer John Lauro, however that she likewise grew “exasperated” as Lowell spoke about the Biden administration pursuing Trump and emoted while on the bench.
Phang: “Quickly, Hugo prior to we go to a break. I wished to ask you, inform us about body movement. A lot of us can not be there. We can’t remain in court. There are no electronic cameras in the court. What was type of the body movement in between Judge Chutkan and Trump and his defense counsel?” (Note Trump did not appear at the Friday hearing.)
Lowell: “Yeah, I Think, you understand, the judge was supportive to a few of the Trump legal representatives’, uh, type of arguments, you understand. They, they were making the case that, you understand, being a defense attorney is hard, particularly with a customer like Trump and I believe she type of accepted that, she has a defense background herself. At other times I believe I believe she kind of grew irritated by all the conversations about politics, you understand, at one point she kind of put her uh, her um, face in her hands, she kind of rolled her eyes when, you understand, there was another conversation about, you understand, the Biden Administration coming after Trump. Um, so I believe, you understand, I believe Trump’s legal representative John Lauro detected that a bit and he moved course throughout the hearing, the hearing. Plainly that was something he believed was gon na be a loser and uh, altered tack.”
