The judge in former President Trump's election interference case says she will not take the election schedule into account when determining the schedule for proceedings. NBC News' Ken Dilanian shares what it was like inside the courtroom. New York Law School professor of law Rebecca Roiphe joins Katy Tur to share her legal analysis.
Donald Trump’s federal election interference case is finally back in the trial court, where U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan held a hearing Thursday mainly to discuss how to proceed after the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling. But the hearing also gave Chutkan an opportunity to criticize U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s dismissal of Trump’s classified documents case on the grounds that special counsel Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed.
Ultimately, how persuasive she finds Cannon’s opinion on the appointment issue might not matter much, if at all. It may be more important what a majority of the Supreme Court thinks. Smith is currently appealing Cannon’s dismissal of the Florida case to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which, as Chutkan noted, is a different circuit from the one in which she sits. Each circuit has its own precedents that govern its trial courts, but all circuits are controlled by Supreme Court precedent.
