Former President Donald Trump’s federal election case has been on hold for 50 days as he appeals to a higher court on grounds that he is immune from prosecution.
On Dec. 13, 2023, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan issued a pause in the election case in Washington and has signaled, on at least two occasions, that the March trial date that was scheduled last year will likely not hold. The judge also halted the submission of any major motions by President Trump’s attorneys and federal prosecutors.
