A federal judge in Washington formally postponed Trump's March #trial on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election as a key #legal#appeal from #Trump continues to work its way through the courts.
US Dist Judge Tanya #Chutkan on Fri vacated the March 4 trial date but did not immediately set a new date.
The postponement comes as a federal appeals court has yet to resolve a pending appeal from Trump arguing that he is #immune from prosecution for actions he took in the WH.
Judge Tanya #Chutkan called off the March 4 trial date in an order on Friday, saying she will set a new date after Trump's immunity #appeal is resolved.
Trump's #federal#ElectionInterference trial in Washington, DC, will no longer begin on March 4, Judge Tanya #Chutkan wrote in a court order released on Fri. It is unclear when the trial will now start.
Chutkan's ruling comes as the DC Circuit Court has not yet decided on whether #Trump is #immune from prosecution.
"The court will set a new schedule if & when the mandate is returned," said the court order signed by Chutkan.
The elimination of the March 4 start date increases the chances that #Trump's #NewYork case involving allegations of #HushMoney payments to adult film star #StormyDaniels will be the next #trial against TFG. That case is currently set to start on March 25.
@Nonilex That one can fairly be criticized as 'a plague on all their houses.' At best, it proves he was, before his Presidency, a cheat, which comes as no surprise.
