Judge denies Trump's request to recuse herself from federal election interference case

Trump unsuccessfully argued Judge Tanya Chutkan was biased against him based on past statements in unrelated cases
Chutkan stated her prior comments were taken out of context and did not indicate prejudice against Trump
The federal trial accuses Trump of conspiring to overturn 2020 election results after losing to President Biden
Chutkan was appointed by Obama and has imposed tough sentences in other Capitol riot-related cases
Trump's defense team may appeal the recusal ruling, but experts considered it a longshot move to undermine case
