U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has scheduled a mid-August status conference in the election interference case against former President Donald Trump, while denying his legal team’s motion to dismiss the indictment.

The status conference, set for Aug. 13 in a Washington federal courthouse, will address procedural matters and help determine the next steps in the proceeding, according to an order signed by Chutkan on Aug. 3.
