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.

#Trump's defense team argued in a motion on Monday that the "fundamentally unfair" request from Smith should be shot down by Chutkan, in part because the brief's page count is over 4X what opening briefs are usually confined to before the DC court system. [otherwise known as the waaaaahhh!! defense]

But #Chuktan wrote in her order a day later that the court would grant Smith's request "to file an oversized brief" & shot down the defense's arguments about the legality of the briefing.
