Jack Smith to Detail Next Steps in Trump Election Subversion Case by Dec. 2

Nov 9, 2024, 12:08 AM

Special Counsel Jack Smith has until December 2 to detail the next steps in the federal election subversion case against President-elect Donald Trump. U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan approved Smith's request to pause pending deadlines in the case, allowing prosecutors to inform the court by the deadline on how they propose to move forward. This decision comes in the wake of Trump's recent election victory, which has introduced 'unprecedented circumstances' into the legal proceedings. Reports suggest that Smith might end the Biden-Harris Justice Department's two cases against Trump.
