Special counsel Jack Smith argues Judge Tanya Chutkan shouldn't recuse herself in Trump case
CBSN
Washington — Special counsel Jack Smith filed a blistering motion in response to former President Donald Trump's request that the judge overseeing his federal 2020 election interference criminal case recuse herself.
"There is no valid basis, under the relevant law and facts, for the Honorable Tanya S. Chutkan, United States District Judge for the District of Columbia, to disqualify herself in this proceeding," Smith wrote in a 20-page filing an hour before a deadline set by Chutkan to respond.
Smith argued Trump hasn't proven Chutkan made biased claims.

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
