"Judge Halts Trump's Federal Election Interference Case, Appeals Process Underway"

The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's federal election interference case has put a hold on the proceedings while the appeals process takes place. Trump's lawyers requested the stay, but special counsel Jack Smith's team opposed it, wanting certain filings to continue. The delay does not prevent the enforcement of protective orders, Trump's conditions of release, or the limited gag order. The special counsel has asked the Supreme Court to intervene and resolve the matter quickly. Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results and has denied any wrongdoing.
