U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan
Appointed by Barack Obama. Federal judge, District of Columbia.​

Judge Tanya Chutkan was appointed to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in June 2014. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, she received her B.A. in Economics from George Washington University and her J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where she was an Associate Editor of the Law Review and a Legal Writing Fellow.

After law school, she worked in private practice for three years, then joined the District of Columbia Public Defender Service (“PDS”), where she worked as a trial attorney and supervisor. During her tenure at PDS, she argued several appellate cases and tried over 30 cases, including numerous serious felony matters. Eleven years later, she left PDS to join Boies, Schiller, & Flexner LLP, where she specialized in litigation and white collar criminal defense. During her 12 years at the firm, her clients included antitrust class action plaintiffs, as well as individual and corporate defendants involved in complex state and federal litigation.

From 1996 – 2000 Judge Chutkan was a member of the Steering Committee for the Criminal Law and Individual Rights Section of the District of Columbia Bar. She is a frequent lecturer on trial techniques and she has served as a faculty member at the Harvard Law School Trial Advocacy Workshop.

Meet Trump's judge. I wonder how Trump will react to a black Jamaican woman judge appointed by President Obama?

Judge Assigned To Trump Case Is Known For Tough Jan. 6 Sentences​

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has handed out the two longest prison sentences to Capitol rioters thus far.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, the judge assigned to oversee the new case against former President Donald Trump, is known for having handed out some of the most aggressive sentences thus far to rioters who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

That could be bad news for Trump, who was indicted Tuesday on four federal charges related to his role in the riot.
In June, an Associated Press review of sentences handed out to rioters involved in the attack found that Chutkan, an ex-assistant public defender who was nominated to the judiciary by former President Barack Obama, stood out as the toughest sentencer among the judges on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

The report found that of the 11 cases Chutkan has presided over, she imposed tougher sentences than those sought by the Justice Department seven times, and matched the DOJ’s request four times. She sentenced all 11 defendants to time behind bars.

Those figures are exceptional, AP found. Chutkan is the only judge who has exceeded prosecutors’ recommended punishment in a majority of the cases they oversaw. As a whole, the 20 judges presiding over Jan. 6 cases have given lighter sentences than those requested by prosecutors 75% of the time.

Chutkan has handed out the two longest sentences imposed so far on any Jan. 6 defendants. Last week, she gave Mike Ponder, who assaulted police officers at the Capitol, 63 months in federal prison. His sentence is tied for the longest with rioter Robert Palmer, whom Chutkan sentenced in December 2021.

“He didn’t get what he wanted,” Chutkan said at Ponder’s sentencing. “And because he didn’t, he felt entitled to attack law enforcement officers who were simply doing their job.”

Chutkan also spoke about her belief in harsh punishments for Jan. 6 rioters at Palmer’s sentencing.

“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,” she said at the time.

Trump is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Thursday.
