Judge Chutkan Sets Pretrial Schedule For Trump Case Guaranteeing No Trial Before Election

Judge Tanya Chutkan issued a pretrial schedule Thursday that guarantees no trial will take place in former President Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 case before the election.

Chutkan’s order followed one of prosecutors’ major recommendations for the schedule, allowing the government to file the first brief on the presidential immunity issue despite objections raised by Trump’s defense attorneys. The last deadline included in her order is set for Nov. 7, days after the 2024 election.
