Judge #Chutkan, in her ruling, emphasized that #Trump’s political concerns over the timing of the #evidence release had no bearing on the court’s decision. She noted that the judicial process must proceed without regard to the #election calendar, stating, “what needs to happen before or shouldn’t happen before the election is not relevant here.”

Chutkan's order also denied Trump’s repeated requests to #delay the pretrial schedule, ensuring that the case will continue to move forward.

#Trump’s legal team had also objected to the length of the brief. Judge Chutkan dismissed this argument, noting the "challenging" & fact-bound nature of the issues that required such a comprehensive filing.

Trump’s defense raised concerns that the brief’s release could influence public opinion & impact his candidacy. Chutkan rejected these claims, asserting that they did not show any legal prejudice to Trump.

#SCOTUS on July 1 ruled 6-3 along ideological lines that #Trump & other presidents are absolutely #immune from #prosecution when carrying out their core constitutional powers, but can face #trial for private conduct or for official acts under narrow exceptions to be hammered out by lower courts. Judge #Chutkan now must decide which if any of Trump’s efforts to overturn the #2020election while president may be prosecutable.

However, a trial will not be possible before his November #election matchup against MVP #Harris …because whatever the judge decides is expected to wind up back before #SCOTUS next year.

#Legal analysts noted that nearly 5 weeks after the #SupremeCourt issued its landmark decision in Trump v. United States, some of the urgency that once drove the #ElectionInterference case has dissipated.
