Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to post a screenshot of a Tweet that alleges Judge Tanya Chutkan running an "election interference", reports Forbes.
The tweet, originally by a right-wing political activist Mike Davis, read, “Judge Tanya Chutkan—an Obama leftwing activist judge in DC, whose husband also got appointed by Obama as a DC judge—openly admitted she's running election interference against Trump.”
Judge Chutkan has previously warned Trump against attempting to intimidate witnesses and officials involved in the case. The potential repercussions of this latest social media attack remain uncertain.
Chutkan is presiding over a federal case filed by special prosecutor Jack Smith. He alleges that Trump made several attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.
After his election defeat, Trump urged then-vice-president Mike Pence to refuse certification of the results. This unprecedented move was followed by the Capitol Riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
Prosecutors in Georgia are reportedly preparing to bring state charges against Trump this week. Additionally, CNN reports potential evidence of Trump associates tampering with voting machines in Georgia.
