The Rupert Murdoch-owned Times of London has glossed over the partisan political background of Tanya Sue Chutkan, the judge assigned to Donald Trump’s latest indictment, in a suspiciously cursory profile.
While noting she has been unusually harsh on Jan 6 defendants, handing down prison sentences to all 38 who have come before her – “some of them longer than requested by prosecutors” – the newspaper neglected to mention her clear double standards with respect to Black Lives Matter rioters.
While jailing one Jan 6 defendant, despite prosecutors not asking for a prison sentence, she raged that it was outrageous “to compare the actions of people protesting, mostly peacefully, for civil rights” during the Black Lives Matter disorder in 2020 to Trump supporters “trying to overthrow the government” in 2021.
This was not the only suspect omission by The Times, which also noted that Jamaica-born Chutkan had been appointed by Barack Obama while failing to mention she was one of his political donors.
The report did claim that, during one Jan 6 sentence hearing in 2021, she said it is “not patriotism, it is not standing up for America, to stand up for one man – who knows full well that he lost – instead of the constitution he was trying to subvert.”
The Times did not question whether she should recuse herself from Trump’s case in light of this, however.

Billionaire Robert Bigelow is telling Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his campaign that he’ll cut off funds unless there are further changes made to the beleaguered and amateurish campaign.
Bigelow, a hotel tycoon and founder of Bigelow Aerospace is the largest single donor to The pro-DeSantis super PAC, ‘Never Back Down’, with over $20 million given. The billionaire UFO enthusiast had harsh words for the campaign when asked if he’d continue his financial support:
“Not until I see that he’s able to generate more on his own. I’m already too big a percentage… A lot of his donors are still on the fence.” Bigelow said, adding: “He does need to shift to get to moderates. He’ll lose if he doesn’t.”
Gov. DeSantis’s campaign has suffered numerous gaffes and scandals over the past several weeks including the firing of a campaign speech writer who created pro-DeSantis video featuring Nazi imagery, revelations that consultant Jeff Roe’s nebulous network of companies have been the recipients of nearly 50 percent of Never Back Down’s campaign spending, and a leak of campaign communications exposing a reckless and alienating communications strategy. Additionally the DeSantis campaign has struggled to attract small donors, and has either stagnated in state primary polls or seen their numbers completely collapse with other Republican candidates like Vivek Ramaswamy over taking the Florida Governor.
Bigelow – a friend and donor to the late Nevada Democrat and former U.S. Senator Harry Reid – isn’t the first DeSantis support to sound the alarm on the languishing presidential campaign. Ed Rollins, a long-time Republican political strategist and early supporter of the governor, has jumped ship calling DeSantis a ‘flawed candidate’.
This latest blow to Ron DeSantis’s presidential ambitions is sure to only further fuel rumors on social media that long-time DeSantis ally and campaign manager Generra Peck may be on her way out, along with much of the beleaguered communications team – including senior staffers Bryan Griffin, Jeremy Redfern, and Christina Pushaw (a registered foreign agent representing disgraced ex Georgian/Ukrainian politician Mikheil Saakashvili).

Donald Trump is fighting to move the latest indictment brought against him by Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) and “deranged” special prosecutor Jack Smith from Democrat-dominated Washington D.C. to nearby West Virginia, and has promised major reforms in the American capital if he returns to the White House.
“The latest Fake ‘case’ brought by Crooked Joe Biden & Deranged Jack Smith will hopefully be moved to an impartial Venue, such as the politically unbiased nearby State of West Virginia! IMPOSSIBLE to get a fair trial in Washington, D.C., which is over 95% anti-Trump, & for which I have called for a Federal TAKEOVER in order to bring our Capital back to Greatness. It is now a high crime embarrassment to our Nation and, indeed, the World. This Indictment is all about Election Interference!!!” the former president told his followers on Truth Social.
The judge currently set to preside over Trump’s case in D.C. is foreign-born Tanya Sue Chutkan, appointed by Barack Obama – to whom she donated – and who is notorious for her harsh treatment of defendants in January 6 cases. Chutkan has frequently handed down sentences harsher than prosecutors’ had requested.

Former President Donald Trump was arraigned in Washington, D.C. today after being indicted by a federal grand jury over accusations regarding the role he played in the protests at the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. In response to the charges Trump pled ‘not guilty’. A trial date will be set at the next hearing scheduled for August 28th.
Addressing the press after his arraignment, former President Trump called it, “…a very sad day for America.” He lamented the state of decay he saw while driving through Washington, D.C. on his way to the Federal Courthouse, saying it was not the place that he had left. Before boarding his plane, Trump added:
This is the political persecution of a political opponent. This was never supposed to happen in America. This is a persecution of the person that’s leading by very very substantial numbers in the Republican primary and leading Biden by a lot. So if you can’t beat them you persecute them or you prosecute them. We can’t let this happen in America.
Shortly before departing the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump posted on Truth Social:
Outside the Federal Courthouse in Washington, D.C.Trump attorney Alina Habba briefed members of the press, noting that after every new break in the Hunter and Joe Biden scandal, former President Trump has faced an indictment or legal proceeding brought forward by either the DOJ or a Biden political ally. Habba concluded: “This is election interference at its finest against the leading candidate right now for president.”
Mike Davis, a conservative attorney and founder of the Article 3 Project, blasted the arraignment and DOJ indictment of former President Donald Trump: “It is not illegal to challenge elections in the United States of America. It’s only illegal to challenge elections in third-world Marxist hellholes. That’s why Democrats were not charged for challenging Republican presidential wins in 1968, 2000, 2004, and 2016.”
Will Scharf, a former U.S. attorney and candidate for Missouri Attorney General, called the Jack Smith DOJ indictment of Trump, “…a highly political document, riddled with legal and factual infirmities. This indictment should have never been brought to a grand jury in the first place.”
Despite the arraignment, the former President appeared to be in good spirits earlier this afternoon. In another post on Truth Social, Trump quipped:

Former Capitol Hill Police Chief Steve Sund told former Fox News host Tucker Carlson that he was not “crazy” to question the behavior of individuals present in the January 6th crowd, one of whom in particular – Ray Epps – had bragged to his friends that he “orchestrated” the entire thing, before the Democrat-run Jan 6 Committee thanked him for participating in their charade.
In never-before-seen footage published exclusively by The National Pulse, Carlson asks Sund about Epps, though without using the Arizona man’s name:
TUCKER: “So let’s go back to the role of, you said nine out of the 18 agencies in the so-called intelligence community are military, Pentagon supervised… military intel. Would they have been gathering, it sounds like they were gathering information about January 6th before it happened?”
SUND: “Well, again, for Milley and Miller, to be that concerned about, uh, about January 6th in advance, they had to be getting the intelligence from somewhere. I mean, talk about locking down Washington, D.C.? That’s a huge undertaking. Um, and again, to never, never notify me. But when you begin to sit there and wonder about…”
TUCKER: “You, you believe that they were gathering intelligence… I’m asking this because there was a very weird moment in the January 6th Committee, um, interviews and they interviewed a man who was caught on camera by a lot of people encouraging law breaking, encouraging people to to run into the Capitol to break the law… the implication was to commit violence. He has never been arrested or charged with anything. And that’s just very, very strange. You know, over 1000 people have been charged, but he has not been. And so the Committee released a statement saying we are positive he was not working with law enforcement. It seems you have to be an idiot not to assume he’s working with somebody. Why haven’t they arrested him? I mean, come on. Right. So my thought was, well, they didn’t mention military intelligence. This guy’s a veteran. Am I being crazy in wondering this?”
SUND: “No, no, you’re not [crazy]. I actually write about that person in the book. It raises concern for me, uh, his involvement. Uh, and the fact that we, we haven’t learned more. Matter of fact, I think the January 6th committee thanked him for his candor.”
In response to Joe Rogan recently discussing Epps, the Arizona man’s legal team – which includes Democrat-and-Dominion-linked lawyers – said: “The fact that people like Joe Rogan continue to propagate the lie that Ray Epps participated in a false flag operation to instigate the January 6th riots demonstrates the widespread and lasting harm that Fox News has done to Ray. Without Fox’s and Tucker Carlson’s lies, Ray would be unknown and unassailed, running his wedding venue business with his wife and enjoying the ranch he and Robyn built. Instead, Ray continues to face the destructive consequences of Fox’s decision to target him with falsehoods. Joe Rogan’s comments are just the most recent proof of the perpetual damage inflicted by Fox.”

Editor’s Notes
Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
Former President Donald Trump has subpoenaed Fox News in an effort to attain an unaired interview with former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund. The interview was originally intended to air as part of then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s investigation into Jan 6 and the more than 40,000 hours of footage he was granted access to. The National Pulse yesterday released parts of the interview, with further clips due on Thursday afternoon.
One item of particular interest to Donald Trump’s legal team is comments that Sund may have made to Carlson regarding the presence of federal agents in the crowd on Jan 6. In an interview with English comedian Russell Brand, Carlson stated that Sund believed federal agents were among the crowds protesting the 2020 Presidential election result:
“I never thought there was a false flag or anything like that. I’m not a conspiracist by temperament… And then I interviewed the chief of the Capitol Police, Steven Sund – in an interview that was never aired on Fox by the way. I was fired before it could air… He was the chief of the Capitol Police on January 6 and he said ‘Oh yeah the crowd was filled with Federal agents.’ He would know of course because he was in charge of security at the site. So the more time that has passed, now it has been two-and-a-half years, it becomes really obvious that core claims they made about January 6 were lies.”
Carlson’s interview with Sund could be a useful piece of evidence for Trump’s legal defense, casting further doubt on official government claims about the circumstances of that days events. The unaired Sund interview appears to be a part of a broader legal strategy by Trump to demonstrate that the Jan 6 prosecution is not just a question of the former President’s First Amendment protected right to free speech but also to call in to question the partisan media narrative surrounding the 2020 Presidential election and Jan 6 itself.

Tanya Sue Chutkan, the US federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s criminal case in Washington D.C., is an Obama appointee and donor, as well as an especially vocal Black Lives Matter (BLM) apologist who has now presided over many of the harshest over-sentences handed to Jan. 6 protestors. Chutkan, a 61-year-old born in Jamaica, also persistently tried to stymie the Trump administration between 2017 and 2021. Her husband Peter Krauthamer is also an Obama appointee.
Chutkan has prosecuted 38 people involved in the January 6th protests so far, with 19 sentences that “exceeded prosecutors’ recommendations.” Her rhetoric against the protestors was no less subdued. She argued:
“It has to be made clear that trying to violently overthrow the government, trying to stop the peaceful transition of power and assaulting law enforcement officers in that effort is going to be met with absolutely certain punishment.“
Chutkan has raged about the issue, claiming protesters, “soiled and defaced the halls of the Capitol and showed their contempt for the rule of law,” though her comments on Black Lives Matter were far more subdued. The D.C. judge called BLM rioters “people protesting, mostly peacefully, for civil rights,” referring to the widespread chaos and destruction in the summer of 2020 as: “People gathered all over the country last year to protest the violent murder by the police of an unarmed man.”
In 2017, Chutkan issued a restraining order against the Trump admin policy of prohibiting migrants from leaving detention facilities for abortions. She ruled immigration officials are required to transport migrants “promptly and without delay… to an abortion provider, in order to obtain any pregnancy or abortion-related medical care.”
The Obama judge also tried to block scheduled executions of rapists and murderers on death row, bizarrely arguing that allowing the executions would deprive the inmates of their ability to pursue challenges in the court.

A Federal grand jury impaneled in Washington, D.C. has handed down a sealed indictment of former President Donald Trump over his alleged incitement of an “insurrection” on January 6th, 2021. Special prosecutor Jack Smith recently sent Trump a target letter accusing the former President of the United States of violating three federal statutes.
The indictment handed down by a grand jury, impaneled in a city that voted for Joe Biden 92.15 percent to Donald Trump’s 5.40 percent, is not yet available for public scrutiny at the demand of Joe Biden’s Department of Justice.
Ahead of the announcement of the indictment former President Trump posted on Truth Social:
“I hear that Deranged Jack Smith, in order to interfere with the Presidential Election of 2024, will be putting out yet another Fake Indictment of your favorite President, me, at 5:00 P.M. Why didn’t they do this 2.5 years ago? Why did they wait so long? Because they wanted to put it right in the middle of my campaign. Prosecutorial Misconduct!”
– Donald J. Trump, 2023.
Jack Smith – the special prosecutor at the DOJ married to Michelle Obama’s documentarian – has developed a reputation for pursuing high profile cases that make headlines but do not always hold up under closer court scrutiny. One of Smith’s most high profile cases prior to his two indictments of former President Trump was a corruption case against former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell which ended with the DOJ declining to retry McDonnell after the Supreme Court States).
The charges:
Count 1: 18 U.S.C. § 371 (Conspiracy to Defraud the United States)
Count 2: 18 U.S.C. § 1512(k) (Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding)
Count 3: 18 U.S.C. §§ 1512(c)(2), 2 (Obstruction of and Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding)
Count 4: 18 U.S.C. § 241 (Conspiracy Against Rights)

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Republicans to fight tougher against dirty Democrat tactics, telling an audience of thousands in Pennsylvania this weekend:
“The biggest complaint that I get is that the Republicans find out this information and then they do nothing about it. They don’t do anything about it… the radical lunatic Democrats, they impeach me, they indict me, they rig our elections and the Republicans just don’t fight that way. They’re good people, but they don’t fight the way they’re supposed to fight. The others are dirty, sick players and the Republicans are very high class. They’ve gotta be a little bit lower class.”
Trump’s insistence of fighting fire with fire comes days after DeSantis supporters urged Trump to distance himself from aggressive political fighters. Bill ‘Biff’ Mitchell, however, lost his own Twitter poll suggesting Trump supporters should be more genteel, like their DeSantis-backing counterparts.
“Any Republican that doesn’t act on Democrat fraud should be immediately primaried and get out!” Trump blasted on Saturday, prompting media hysteria.

Presidential hopeful hopeless Ron DeSantis has continued to tout Iowa’s Governor Kim Reynolds as a possible running mate, to a few tens of not largely unenthused voters in the Hawkeye State.
“You guys think she’d be a good number two?” he asked a small crowd this week, having told reporters he was considering her at another Iowa event just weeks ago.
“You guys think she’d be a good No. 2?” Ron DeSantis asks Iowa crowd of Gov. Kim Reynolds. pic.twitter.com/TIMAzTEcI2
Officially, Governor Reynolds is claiming neutrality in the GOP race, but she has appeared alongside DeSantis and his wife Jill, a.k.a. Casey, multiple times, praising them to the rafters – a matter that has not been lost on frontrunner Donald Trump.
Pointing out that he “opened up the Governor position” for Reynolds in 2018 and held a number of rallies on her behalf, Trump has said she is no longer welcome at his events.
DeSantis has sought to strengthen the sense that Reynolds is in his camp by criticizing Trump’s “chirping” about her, but their alignment does not appear to be doing anything for him in Iowa, where he is trailing the former president on just 15 percent, with Tim Scott snapping at his heels.
