Judge Chutkan grants Jack Smith's request to jumpstart Jan. 6 case with immunity arguments

Judge Tanya Chutkan imposed a string of court deadlines on Donald Trump that will occur throughout the next two months, putting a renewed focus on the former president’s election interference charges in the final weeks of his presidential campaign.

Chutkan’s schedule largely aligned with special counsel Jack Smith’s request that the court restart proceedings in the case by delving into a debate about how the Supreme Court’s decision on presidential immunity should affect Trump’s charges.
