On the heels of a federal judge regaining jurisdiction in Donald Trump‘s Jan. 6 election subversion case, attorneys working under special counsel Jack Smith have asked for a brief delay to file a proposed agenda for additional proceedings in light of the “new precedent” the Supreme Court set with its sweeping ruling on presidential immunity.

As Law&Crime previously reported, presiding U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan set a status conference for the parties for Aug. 16. It was expected that she would begin to sort through a proposed schedule and broach the subject of which elements of the four-count felony indictment would remain.
