BREAKING: Just left the courtroom of Judge #Chutkan, where she has handed down her longest #Jan6 sentence to date — 66 months — to Scott Miller, a former Maryland #ProudBoy who harbored extreme and violent views about Jews and minorities (but promised the court he had disavowed).

Go get 'em, Judge Chutkan. Mini trial?

Via Hugo Lowell:

NEW — #Trump federal Jan. 6 case is now back in Judge #Chutkan’s jurisdiction, per remand order from the DC Circuit and the Supreme Court

Go, Chutkan!

Via Katie Phang:

As I predicted, here is Judge #Chutkan moving quickly:

August 16th: Scheduling Conference

August 9th: filing deadline for a Status Report proposing a "schedule for pretrial proceedings moving forward"

Via Katie Phang:

NEW: Judge #Chutkan grants Special Counsel #JackSmith’s request for additional time to file an updated joint status report in #Trump’s DC election interference case.

Now the status conference will take place September 5, 2024, at 10 am ET, after the status report is filed August 30th. #legal

And (finally) here’s the Joint Status Report in #Trump’s DC federal election interference case:

Kyle Cheney:

#JackSmith is urging Judge #Chutkan to streamline Trump's efforts to dismiss his D.C. prosecution by linking the immunity fight with his other efforts to scrap the case.

Trump (right) envisions a process that stretches deep into 2025.

Via Katie Phang:

REMINDER: Today is the deadline for the filing of a Joint Status Report in #Trump’s DC election interference case before Judge #Chutkan.

Me likey the Judge.

Via Kyle Cheney:

#BREAKING: Judge #Chutkan sets a schedule for #JackSmith and #Trump to make immunity-related filings.

Smith: Sept. 26
Trump: Oct. 17
Smith reply: Oct. 29.

Via Katie Phang:

NEW: Judge #Chutkan allows #Trump to waive having to appear at his arraignment on his superseding indictment in his DC election interference case.

Note: This is a common occurrence and Trump is not getting special treatment in this waiver.

Via Roger Parloff:

The first seven pages of #Trump’s “reply” brief on discovery are actually a de facto motion to reconsider, begging Judge #Chutkan to retract her 9/5 scheduling order, which calls for the govt to lay out its “unpled” evidence against Trump next Thurs, 9/26. ...

Via Andrew Weissmann:

What has gotten little attention is that Judge #Chutkan issued a written decision today, denying #Trump's request to keep the filing and information about the titles and position of the people referenced under seal. She rejected that in the below opinion, AND as 👉🏼Trump did not seek a stay, her decision then resulted in the public filing of the government's brief.👈🏼

👀Via Kyle Griffin:

Judge Tanya #Chutkan has approved the public release of redacted source documents that helped inform special counsel #JackSmith's explosive legal brief arguing #Trump can still face prosecution for trying to subvert the results of the 2020 election. Trump has seven days to take steps to block the disclosure. #legal

Via Eric Columbus:

This filing (which Judge Chutkan will not grant) is a prelude to Trump seeking relief from #SCOTUS. Look for more filings today, maybe an intermediate stop at the DC Circuit (where he won’t win).

Kyle Cheney:

JUST IN: On the day #Chutkan plans to release a large cache of #JackSmith’s evidence, #Trump asks her to delay until Nov. 14 #legal

#WompWomp

Via Kyle Griffin:

Judge Tanya #Chutkan has denied #Trump's request to delay until after the election the unsealing of court records and exhibits in his federal election interference case and said the court would release evidence submitted by the government TODAY. #legal

Aaaannnnd we’re off!

Via Katie Phang:

JUST HITTING THE DOCKET:

Judge #Chutkan enters an Order directing the Clerk of Courts to file on the *public* docket Special Counsel #JackSmith's Redacted Appendix (of exhibits to his immunity determination motion) of Volume I, Volume II, Volume III, and Volume IV. #Trump #legal

Kyle Cheney:

This seems like it could be voluminous, though it's unclear how much is redacted.

U.S. District Judge Tanya #Chutkan says some nonprofits awarded billions for a so-called green bank to finance #CleanEnergy & #climate-friendly projects cannot have their contracts scrapped & must have access to some of the frozen money. The ruling is a defeat for #Trump’s [mockery of an] #EPA, which argues the program is rife w/ financial mismanagement.
