Judge sets August hearing in Trump felony election case

The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled by a 6-3 vote that former presidents have immunity for official acts conducted while serving in the White House.

As a result of this ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed a lower court to take back up the case regarding Donald Trump's alleged attempts to interfere with the 2020 election.

Trump was probably hoping that the entire case would be thrown out, but that's not what is going to happen.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan officially has control of the case once again, and she's already issuing orders.

Almost as soon as Chutkan resumed her jurisdiction over the case, she immediately "denied Trump's motion to dismiss the federal criminal charges brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith."

Because the Supreme Court ruled that Trump was immune from consequences for "official acts" during his time as president, Chutkan is now going to conduct a review and decide "which acts are official and which are not official and thus what charges can be brought before a jury."

You can probably expect both sides to appeal Chutkan's ruling, whatever she decides.
