Judge Tanya Chutkan has resumed proceedings in the federal election interference case against former President Donald Trump, scheduling a status conference for August 16, 2024.
She denied Trump’s motion to dismiss the case and has requested a joint status report from both parties by August 9, 2024, to outline proposals for the schedule moving forward. The case had been on hold pending a Supreme Court decision on Trump’s immunity claims, which has since been vacated, allowing the case to proceed. Trump is not required to attend the August 16 hearing in person.
According to sources such as The New York Times, CNN, and Reuters, the joint status report is expected to address key issues such as discovery deadlines, potential motions, and a trial timeline.
