Former President Trump’s federal Jan. 6 case was back in a D.C. courtroom on Thursday with his attorneys and special counsel Jack Smith’s team arguing before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine how the case should proceed.
The case was sent back to the lower court after the Supreme Court ruled Trump has broad immunity from criminal prosecution, which will now be applied to the case involving Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Chutkan also held an arraignment on a new superseding indictment in the election subversion case that adjusted for immunity in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling. Trump plead not guilty, through his team of lawyers.

After roughly an hour and a half of arguing, Chutkan has ended the hearing just before 11:30 a.m.
Trump’s attorneys as well as Chutkan sparred as they tried to work out charting a path foward in the case following the Supreme Court’s immunity decision.
By the end, Chutkan said she expects the immunity decision to delay the case once more, after the parties couldn’t meet for almost one year as higher courts considered the immunity defense.
The judge, as a result, said setting a trial date would effectively be rendered useless.
