A United States judge pressed the pause button on a federal case against former President Donald Trump, which accuses him of trying to illegally over turn the election results from the 2020 presidential race, as he and his legal team appeal a decision that says he does not have immunity from federal charges. This is good news for Trump as it gives him an opportunity to prove his claim, which could set a precedent for future presidents later down the road.
Remember, the attacks against Trump where the legal system is being used as a weapon is not just about stopping him from successfully mounting another presidential campaign and landing back in the White House. It’s about the deep state utilizing federal law enforcement against every day Americans to keep them silent when it comes to opposing leftists and their crazy agenda.
Here’s more from Newsmax:
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said Trump’s ongoing appeal temporarily halts all activity that would move the case toward trial. Chutkan said she could still enforce her past rulings, including the gag order that limits Trump’s statements about prosecutors and witnesses, while the case is paused. Trump is appealing Chutkan’s ruling earlier this month that he does not have immunity in the case. Trump argued that he could not be prosecuted for official actions he took as president.
Additional details were contained in a report issued by CBS News:
Chutkan wrote that Trump’s move gives the higher court jurisdiction over the case. She noted that if the case is returned to her she will consider “whether to retain or continue the dates of any still-future deadlines and proceedings, including the trial scheduled for March 4.” The case would return to her if Trump’s immunity claim is ultimately rejected, allowing the prosecution to move forward.
Trump was charged with four counts in August, including conspiracy to defraud the United States, with prosecutors alleging he orchestrated a scheme to resist the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 presidential election. He pleaded not guilty to those charges and has denied wrongdoing. Last month, Trump asked Chutkan to dismiss the charges, arguing he was shielded from federal prosecution because the alleged conduct occurred while he was president and involved acts within the “outer perimeter” of his official duties. The judge denied his assertion of presidential immunity.
Earlier this week, Special Counsel Jack Smith made a request to the Supreme Court, asking them to take a gander at the case, which is a move that essentially goes over the heads of those in the appeals court. The highest court in the land then agreed they would fast-track consideration of whether or not to hear the case and gave the former president until December 20 to respond to the request made by Smith.
The fact that Trump is continuing to go toe-to-toe with the radicals behind the scenes and fight against their assaults designed to prevent him from being the nominee that faces down Biden in the next general election is why so many people still support him and back him, regardless of the odds he faces.
