"18 GOP Senators Support Judge Presiding Over Trump Jan 6 Case"

Eighteen currently-serving GOP senators, including Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, who have criticized Tanya Chutkan as biased against Trump, had voted to confirm her as a federal judge in 2014. Chutkan is overseeing Trump's January 6 trial, and he has called for her recusal, claiming he cannot get a fair trial with her. Despite their current criticism, these senators had unanimously supported Chutkan's confirmation during the Obama administration.
