Aug 2, 2024, 06:57 PM

The U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling on presidential immunity has significant implications for the ongoing legal proceedings against former President Donald Trump. The ruling has led to the resumption of the 2020 election interference trial, which had been paused for nearly eight months. The case, accusing Trump of attempting to overturn his 2020 election defeat, has been remanded to District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, D.C. The Supreme Court's decision has now been sent back to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, unlocking the case for Judge Chutkan to resume proceedings after a 32-day wait. The trial court is expected to issue a scheduling order soon, and the public is keenly awaiting further updates on how the case will progress. The case was initially frozen on February 6 and also involves the January 6th events.
