Trump January 6 Judge Worried Trial Delay Will Cancel Her Vacay
DC federal Judge Tanya Chutkan has dropped a subtle hint that former President Donald Trump’s trial in the 2020 election subversion case may be rescheduled to take place after he potentially becomes the Republican Party’s nominee for the 2024 presidential election. Chutkan mentioned her plans to be out of the country later this year on vacation and expressed concern that Trump’s trial could impact that incredibly important trip.
Chutkan reportedly stated, “I hope not to be in the country on August 5,” before noting that her availability could change if she is involved in a trial in another matter that has yet to be scheduled on her calendar.
The Republican National Convention, slated for July 15—18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is set to officially secure former President Trump’s position as the GOP nominee for the 2024 presidential election.
Simultaneously, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is pursuing an August 5 start date for a separate trial involving Trump and 14 others accused of attempting to allegedly unlawfully alter the 2020 election results in Georgia in the seemingly coordinated attacks against the former president.
The federal case against Trump has been temporarily paused as the DC appeals court reviews arguments from his legal team claiming immunity from charges related to official actions taken during his presidency. Even if the DC court rules against Trump, potential appeals to the Supreme Court could further delay the proceedings. Trump’s legal team also argues that the House of Representatives’ impeachment in connection with the January 6, 2021, riot constitutes double jeopardy for a multitude of reasons.
Last month, Trump’s team unsuccessfully sought contempt charges against special counsel Jack Smith’s team for filing court documents during a stay imposed by Judge Chutkan while the immunity argument is resolved.
Chutkan, an Obama-appointed judge, has indicated that she will set a new trial start date once the higher courts decide on the immunity question. Trump currently faces a total of 91 criminal counts across four separate indictments, vehemently denying any wrongdoing and entering a not guilty plea in each case.
