D.C. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan granted a three-week delay on a status hearing for Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 election interference case, giving a green light on special counsel Jack Smith’s ask for more time to navigate proceedings, after the Supreme Court granted sweeping immunity to presidents.
Smith, who told prosecutors that he needed more time to understand the “new precedent set forth last month,” will have to be ready to lay out a schedule for an Aug. 30 hearing.
