The case returns to Judge Tanya Chutkan one month after the Supreme Court issued a game-changing ruling on presidential power.
But the Supreme Court interceded earlier this year and put the case on pause to consider Trump’s claims of presidential immunity.
Attorneys working on the case believe that Chutkan will move quickly with the case back in her jurisdiction, according to sources familiar with their thinking.
Any move she makes will be under extreme scrutiny, given that it’s the only remining federal case against Trump after the Florida federal judge overseeing his classified documents case, Aileen Cannon, dismissed those criminal charges against Trump and his two co-defendants.
Cannon appeared to hold hearings on nearly every motion in the Trump case before her, but Chutkan often rules without hearing from the parties in person.
