Several legal experts have stated that the federal judge in former President Donald Trump’s election-related case is likely to postpone his trial, currently scheduled for March, following several recent orders.

Earlier in January, Judge Tanya Chutkan seemed to suggest that the trial date for President Trump could be pushed back. The suggestion came in an order denying Jack Smith, the special counsel overseeing the case, permission to file any new major motions to advance the case. The reason, she wrote, is that the former president is currently appealing his case on the grounds of presidential immunity, a move that paused the case in December
