A landmark interruption in former President Donald Trump's 2020 election interference case has transpired, led by federal Judge Tanya Chutkan. Amid appeals over a major issue in the trial, the judge has paused all procedural deadlines, potentially delaying the pending trial set for March 2024.
At the core of the issue is this: Special Counsel Jack Smith has requested the Supreme Court to determine whether Trump holds any immunity from criminal prosecution for supposed crimes committed during his term as president. Observers expect this decision by the Supreme Court might come around February, disrupting the current trial schedule.
