A recent ruling from U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan will put Donald Trump's case on hold related to charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election results, while Trump further pursues claims of immunity from prosecution as a former president. Chutkan's decision raises the likelihood that Trump's March 2024 trial will be postponed as the appeal of his immunity argument progresses through the courts. The issue of presidential immunity from prosecution is unprecedented and could potentially be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. Trump's team argued the case should be paused during the appeals process, while the special counsel prosecuting Trump wanted the case to continue on its current schedule.
