Jack Smith Granted Delay in Trump Election Interference Case
D.C. Circuit Court Judge Tanya Chutkan has granted Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request to delay his election interference prosecution against former President Donald Trump on Thursday, allowing him time to fortify his case, according to NBC.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals remanded the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling on August 2, meaning the courthouse, where the case originated, could take its own stab at it.
Chutkan, an Obama-appointed judge, originally presided over Smith’s case against Trump which has been in a holding pattern ever since the case was referred to the Supreme Court in Dec. 2023.
