Overview

• The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has not yet issued a decision on Trump's immunity claim, despite initial signals of a swift resolution.
• District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan has scrapped the original March 4 trial start date due to the delay, with a new date pending the appeals court's decision.
• Legal experts speculate the delay could be due to a deadlock among the judges or difficulties in reaching a consensus on framing the decision.
• The delay benefits Trump's legal strategy of postponing the trial until after the presidential race, potentially impacting the election's outcome.
• The Supreme Court's involvement could further determine the trial's timing, with the possibility of delaying the case until after the election or during Trump's potential presidency.
