Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan, of the DC District Court, is tasked with making critical decisions regarding the criminal case against Donald Trump related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. One of the key aspects she must address is setting a schedule for the proceedings.
Additionally, Judge Chutkan will need to determine whether prosecutors have the legal grounds to take Trump to trial and call specific witnesses, including former Vice President Mike Pence. The recent grand jury-approved indictment necessitates Trump to submit a new pleading in response.
