Up until now, Smith had been trying to expedite his election interference case, arguing it was in the public’s interest to see it resolved as soon as possible, but never publicly acknowledging the November election as possibly driving his urgency. All the while, Trump and his attorneys sought to delay this case in any way that they could, including appealing Chutkan’s decision that Trump was not protected from criminal prosecution through presidential immunity until the case reached the Supreme Court. The justices agreed to hear the case in February, but its decision wasn’t released until July.

Trump Is Wishcasting Now
Read MoreNow that’s it is out, SCOTUS’ decision is expected to have serious ramifications for Smith’s case, since some of Trump’s charges hinge on conversations he had with his Justice Department and his vice president, Mike Pence, both things SCOTUS ruled the special counsel cannot touch to charge Trump or even use as evidence—because they are “official” presidential acts. Chutkan will get to decide what remaining elements of Smith’s case are still prosecutable, but if Trump’s defense team disagrees with any of her assessments, they can appeal and the case could end up before the Supreme Court again.
In Smith’s letter to Chutkan, he stressed that the government is continuing to assess the new precedent set by SCOTU and that he’s consulting with various arms of the DOJ, but “has not finalized its position on the most appropriate schedule” for the prosecution and defense to pick the case back up again. On Friday, Chutkan granted Smith an extension.
