2020 FRAUD-Judge Chutkan Retakes Control of TRUMP Case DESPITE Immunity Ruling
Judge Chutkan Retakes Control of TRUMP 2020 Election Case After Immunity Ruling
TRUMPs' Jan. 6 Case Officially Back in Judge Chutkans’ Hands After Immunity Ruling
- CORRUPT Judge Cannon Cant Help Him Now
AP 3 AUG 2024
Trumps federal election subversion charges officially returned to his trial judge in Washington, D.C., on Friday to determine the case’s future after the Supreme Court last month carved out immunity for former presidents.
Trump’s immunity claims froze the case for months, but U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is now poised to set a schedule and announce next steps.
Washington — U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has once again taken control over the 2020 election-related prosecution against Donald Trump and could soon lay out how the case will move forward in the coming weeks.
The case was sent back to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit after the Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that former presidents are immune from prosecution for official acts they took while in office. The three-judge panel at the appeals court level — which previously found that Trump could not be shielded from criminal charges — issued a brief, unsigned order sending the matter back to the district court on Friday.
"It is ordered, on the court's own motion, that this case be remanded to the district court for further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Court's opinion," the D.C. Circuit said
Chutkan Takes The Reins...
Chutkan is now expected to interpret and apply the Supreme Court's ruling. She will have to decide which alleged conduct described in special counsel Jack Smith's indictment of the former president is "official" in nature and which could be the subject of criminal prosecution.
Smith charged Trump about a year ago with four counts tied to his conduct after the 2020 presidential election, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. Prosecutors alleged the former president worked to subvert the peaceful transfer of power through a pressure campaign at the state and federal level that culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
Trump pleaded not guilty to the charges. He denied wrongdoing and claimed the prosecution was politically motivated.
While concluding that former presidents have legal protections from charges for alleged acts that fell within their official duties, the Supreme Court rejected Trump's claims that he is entitled to sweeping, absolute immunity unless impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate.
