Judge cancels deadlines in Trump’s 2020 election case

In a court filing Friday, special counsel Jack Smith’s team requested the cancellation of upcoming deadlines in the 2020 election case, citing the need "to assess this unprecedented circumstance" and align with Department of Justice policy. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan quickly granted the request, delaying the timeline for the case. Prosecutors have been ordered to submit a proposed course of action by December 2. This move gives both sides additional time to prepare for the complex legal proceedings.
