Today, a court session was held in Washington under the supervision of Judge Tanya Chutkin regarding the federal case against Trump. Trump's lawyer, John Lauro, sought to slow the proceedings by requesting more time to review evidence and prepare legal arguments concerning presidential immunity. Judge Chutkin ended a quid pro quo dialogue between her and the defense attorney, emphasizing that election matters are irrelevant to the legal timetable, leaving a different impression in the courtroom. Although no trial date was set, the judge indicated that she would establish a specific timetable for the future. A light-hearted exchange occurred between the parties, and attendees expressed noticeable relief, as matters were not taken seriously during the session. However, the judge made it clear that there was no intention to provide a timeline for trial phases soon. Discussions also revolved around who would have priority in presenting initial arguments. The defense aims to use immunity claims and challenge the appointment of the special prosecutor as a means to delay the process. Meanwhile, observers noted that the judge's decision regarding the timeline will be crucial in determining who will prevail in this legal battle.
