The 180 pg brief, part of the legal debate surrounding #Trump’s #immunity claims, will contain a detailed factual proffer, along w/ numerous exhibits related to Trump’s alleged conduct. This #evidence is intended to assist the court in conducting a fact-specific analysis, a directive handed down by #SCOTUS after remanding the case for further proceedings to determine which of Trump’s acts were unofficial & not covered by their broad interpretation of presidential immunity.

U.S. District Judge Tanya #Chutkan has signed off on #SpecialCounsel#JackSmith's request to file an oversized opening brief regarding #immunity issues as the federal election subversion case against #Trump presses forward.

Smith's office alerted the court over the wknd that it was seeking to file a 180-page brief regarding how #SCOTUS’ ruling regarding presidential immunity impacts the charges against Trump, who is facing 4 #felony counts related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

After a testy 1hr hearing in federal court in DC, Judge Tanya #Chutkan granted a proposal by special counsel #JackSmith’s office to make its case about the limits of #Trump’s #immunity by Sept 26, w/other filings due in the weeks that follow.
Her scheduling order offers the first glimpse of how the case will proceed after #SCOTUS ruled presidents cannot be prosecuted for…official conduct, upending the Trump prosecution & forcing the #SpecialCounsel to seek a #SupersedingIndictment.
