Appeals Court Kicks Jack Smith’s January 6 Case Back to Judge Chutkan After Supreme Court Immunity Ruling
Radical anti-Trump Judge Tanya Chutkan and President Donald Trump
Jack Smith’s January 6 case against President Trump is now back with Judge Tanya Chutkan following the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling.
The Supreme Court last month ruled 6-3 that Trump has absolute immunity for his core Constitutional powers.
Former presidents are entitled to at least a presumption of immunity for their official acts, according to the Supreme Court.
The case was sent back to the DC Appellate Court after the Supreme Court issued a ruling on presidential immunity.
On Friday, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals sent the case back to Judge Chutkan.
Judge Chutkan, an Obama appointee, will then interpret the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity.
