Former President Donald Trump has been in his own personal war against Judge Tanya Chutkan over his attacks on prosecutors, witnesses and others associated with his various cases. Chutkan shut down Trump with a narrow gag order requiring he keep quiet on the staff and witnesses in the case.
Now Trump will face off in another war with Chutkan. According to the Democracy Docket, the judge will oversee a new lawsuit against Trump and his campaign alleging they intentionally tried to disenfranchise Black voters, a violation of the Voting Rights Act.
Brought by the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the suit alleges Trump's campaign and the Republican Party worked to disenfranchise the voters when they attempted to overthrow the 2020 presidential election.
"On Nov. 28, 2022, a trial court issued an order that allowed the plaintiffs to amend their complaint and held that Trump is not absolutely immune," said Democracy Docket in a release when the case was announced. "Trump appealed the Nov. 28 order to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Litigation is ongoing."
