Jack Smith Seeks 3-Week Delay in Trump's Election Case After SCOTUS Ruling

Aug 9, 2024, 02:05 AM

Special Counsel Jack Smith has requested an additional 3 extra weeks from Judge Chutkan in the federal election interference case against former President Donald Trump. This request follows a recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, which Smith is currently assessing. The delay is intended to allow Smith to prepare a comprehensive status report, potentially including a superseding indictment that could add Trump's co-conspirators as defendants. Trump's legal team has not opposed the request for more time.
