A federal judge once accused of waging war on Trump-era policies has been tapped to oversee former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s high-profile criminal case — and conservatives are furious.
Judge Theodore D. Chuang, appointed by Barack Obama, has a long record of rulings that rubbed conservatives the wrong way. Now, he’s been assigned to the Bolton case, where the former national security chief faces 18 total counts for allegedly mishandling classified information through a personal email account potentially compromised by foreign hackers.
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) blasted the move on X, calling out Chuang’s political history and left-leaning track record.
