Judge overseeing Trump's Jan. 6 case says she won't go easy on him just because he's running for president again

• The judge overseeing the Jan. 6 case against Donald Trump said she won't go easy on him just because he's running for office.
• "The existence of a political campaign is not going to have any bearing on my decision," Judge Chutkan said.
• Chutkan put in place a protective order that prevents Trump from speaking about sensitive material from the trial.

The judge presiding over the Justice Department's latest indictment of former President Donald Trump said Friday that Trump's 2024 candidacy will not affect her decision-making in the case.
