Trump's Legal Battles: Delays and Dangers Ahead

Judge Tanya Chutkan, presiding over Donald Trump’s criminal case, acknowledged the possibility of his trial extending into 2024 due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the timeline. The case has been on hold as a federal appeals court considers whether Trump should be deemed "immune" from charges related to his conduct as president. Chutkan emphasized that the schedule is largely out of her control and has called off the original March 4 trial date, indicating she will reset it "if and when" higher courts resolve the immunity issue. Despite proposals for a separate trial in Georgia, Chutkan has insisted that Trump's political calendar will not influence her decisions, emphasizing the weighty and urgent nature of the matter.
