On Thursday, Judge Tanya Chutkan held a status conference to address the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling in Jack Smith’s January 6 case against Trump.
Judge Chutkan came out swinging against the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, saying the upcoming election is “not relevant.”
Chutkan did not issue a ruling, but she is expected to release a scheduling order as soon as Thursday evening.
President Trump and Special Counsel Jack Smith presented opposing arguments for how the January 6 case will proceed in a joint status report filed last Friday night ahead of Thursday’s status conference.
Last Tuesday, Jack Smith indicted President Trump AGAIN in Washington DC, following the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity.
The grand jury indicted Trump on the same four charges that were unveiled last August: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Judge Chutkan said the upcoming election is “not relevant.”
“I understand there is an election” soon, Chutkan said.
“It is not relevant. This court is not concerned with the electoral schedule. It is nothing I will consider,” she said.
Chutkan, as she has said consistently since this case landed on her docket, emotionally emphasized that the presidential election will not affect her scheduling order, which she will file later today.
“I understand there is an election” soon, Chutkan said.

Chutkan also said during Thursday’s hearing, “I am not talking about the presidency of the United States I am talking about a four-count indictment.”
Chutkan, as I have reported before, was also in full performance mode.
She made snide comments to generate laughter in the DOJ friendly crowd. She crossed her arms, held up her hand, pointed, and smirked during her back and forth with Lauro.
She took a swipe at Judge Cannon’s…
