Trump Jan. 6 case: Judge sets date for conference to determine steps forward after SCOTUS ruling
Fox News
Judge Tanya Chutkan has set an Aug. 16 date for Special Counsel Jack Smith's team and former President Trump's defense attorneys to conference on next steps in Trump's D.C. Jan. 6 case.
Now, prosecutors and Trump's defense attorneys will confer in two weeks to determine a schedule for pretrial proceedings and discuss how the Supreme Court's ruling should be applied in this case. Chutkan denied a defense motion to dismiss the charges against Trump but afforded the Republican candidate's legal team an opportunity to refile the motion "once all issues of immunity have been resolved."

"By August 9, 2024, the parties shall confer and file a status report that proposes, jointly to the extent possible, a schedule for pretrial proceedings moving forward. If necessary, the parties may explain any disagreements in separate sections of the report," Chutkan's order states.
