Fox News’s Mark Levin criticizes the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s indictment, labeling them a biased partisan.
Fox News Host Mark Levin Slams Judge as “Radical Partisan” in Trump’s Third Indictment
On Sunday, Fox News host Mark Levin expressed his strong criticism of the judge assigned to former President Donald Trump’s third indictment, labeling her as a “radical partisan.” Levin made these remarks on his show, Life, Liberty, and Levin, where he denounced the indictment as a ”disgusting attack” on democracy. He also hinted that Judge Tanya Chutkan, who has presided over multiple cases related to the January 6, 2021, riot, may not provide a fair trial for the former president.

“The judge who is going to hear this case is the most radical partisan activist, Obama appointee, in the entire federal judiciary. Gee, I wonder how she got chosen,” Levin exclaimed.
Chutkan was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2014, a fact that has been highlighted by many Republicans since she was assigned to Trump’s case. On August 1, special counsel Jack Smith presented four counts related to alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election, which ultimately led to the U.S. Capitol riot. Trump recently appeared before a different judge to plead not guilty.
Records reveal that Chutkan donated approximately $4,300 to Obama’s presidential campaign and victory fund between 2008 and 2012, long before her appointment as a U.S. district court judge in Washington. She has also gained attention for handing down significantly longer sentences to Jan. 6 defendants than what prosecutors recommended. Additionally, she has criticized fellow judges appointed by the GOP for comparing the January 6 riot to the Black Lives Matter protests.
The former president’s 2024 campaign strongly condemned the recent indictment, drawing comparisons to Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, and accusing the Department of Justice of being “weaponized.”
Levin specifically criticized the charges stemming from Trump’s conversations with former Vice President Mike Pence, where Trump urged Pence to delay or suspend the certification of the 2020 election results.
“This is a disgusting attack on our electoral system. And as I’ve said before, the electoral system in America is now dead unless all of this is reversed,” Levin passionately stated. “Is a president not free to discuss decisions about elections with his vice president and strongly urge him to take one position or another?”
