U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan held her first post-immunity ruling hearing in the criminal case in which Donald J. Trump is the sole defendant on charges relating to a massive conspiracy to overturn the election results and to obstruct the official proceedings in Congress on January 6th .

The road ahead for Jack Smith’s prosecution is unclear.

The right-wing Supreme Court majority has taken the reins of prosecutorial power in these matters.

Judge Lauro reportedly told Judge Chutkan that “we want an orderly process that does honor to the Supreme Court ruling,” because this is a “very sensitive time in our nation’s history”.
