Former President Trump’s federal Jan. 6 case is back in a D.C. courtroom on Thursday.
Trump is not there in person, but attorneys and prosecutors on special counsel Jack Smith’s team are arguing before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine how the case should proceed now that the Supreme Court ruled Trump has broad immunity from criminal prosecution.
That high court decision in July sent Trump’s criminal prosecution back to the lower court to apply the standard. In Chutkan’s case, she she sparked a flurry of activity in August when she announced she would hold a conference to chart the course of the case.
