Judge Gives Trump A HUGE Legal Victory

The Obama-appointed judge in former President Donald Trump’s federal J6 case has acquiesced to the reality that no trial will occur before election day.

Washington, D.C. federal judge Tanya Chutkan on Thursday set a pretrial schedule that guarantees no trial will occur before Election Day on Tuesday, November 5th, according to the Western Journal. Her decision is in line with requests from a prosecutor with the team of special counsel Jack Smith who requested more time for the government to prepare its arguments in light of the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling this summer. A final deadline before trial now sits on November 7th. The government must “complete all mandatory evidentiary disclosures” to the defense team by September 10th.

Thursday’s hearing was the first between prosecutors and Trump’s defense team since the high court’s ruling in July, which narrowed the scope of charges against Trump. Last week Smith filed a new indictment which was presented to a new grand jury and “reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions,” according to NPR. Attorneys for the former president are seeking to dismiss the case on the grounds that Smith was unlawfully appointed, citing a litany of precedents indicating that the Department of Justice has not followed a particular procedure for appointing special prosecutors. They have until October 24th to file final arguments seeking dismissal.
