Trump Jan. 6 case: Judge sets date for conference to determine steps forward after SCOTUS ruling

The federal judge presiding over Special Counsel Jack Smith's Jan. 6 case against former President Trump has ordered a conference on Aug. 16 to determine the next steps forward.

Judge Tanya Chutkan wasted no time after she received the case back from the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled last month on the scope of Trump's claim of presidential immunity from prosecution. The high court said that a president is immune from prosecution for official acts in office, but not unofficial ones, and remanded the case back for trial.
