Judge sets Aug. 16 hearing in Trump’s federal election interference case

The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's federal election interference case has set a hearing for Aug. 16 at 10 a.m. Trump is not required to attend.

This will be the first time in seven months the parties will appear in Judge Tanya Chutkan's courtroom. Chutkan also denied Trump's motion to dismiss the case on statutory grounds. She says they may refile the motion once issues of presidential immunity are resolved.

The case has been stayed as Trump's legal team appealed presidential immunity all the way to the Supreme Court.

In a 6-3 ruling last month authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court found that a president has absolute immunity for acts within their core constitutional powers and a presumption of immunity for "acts within the outer perimeter of his official responsibility."
 
A key element of that decision requires Judge Chutkan to sort through the 45-page indictment accusing Mr. Trump of plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, and decide which of its many allegations can move forward to trial and which arise from official acts of his presidency and will have to be tossed out.

Hearing Set to Discuss Next Steps in Trump’s Federal Election Case

The case was on hold during the appeals process, which culminated in a sweeping Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. Now the judge must decide which acts in the indictment qualify.

Absurd. This is not justice.
 
It is all but impossible at this point that Mr. Smith and his deputies could bring Mr. Trump to trial on the election subversion charges before Election Day, given that the former president and his lawyers can appeal the interim decisions about which acts in the indictment are official. And if Mr. Trump regains the White House, he could order his Justice Department to kill the case.

Everything Smith did is fruit of the poisonous tree because he was appointed illegally. He may not even be in the states anymore.

Anything involving him is over.
