Soon after getting the case back from an appellate court in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s seismic presidential immunity case, a federal judge denied former President Donald Trump’s claims of selective and indictive prosecution in his Jan. 6 election subversion case.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan wrote in a 16-page memorandum opinion filed Saturday that Trump improperly reframed the allegations against him and mispresented supposed evidence, in which he asserted that the U.S. Department of Justice under President Joe Biden was going after him for political purposes.
