Lawyers for former President Donald Trump and the Justice Department are set to appear in a federal courtroom today for what could be the last hearing in his election interference case before the November election. This year, voters will decide the winner of the presidency — and, by extension, Trump’s legal fate. A D.C. grand jury indictment accused Trump of actions resulting in the violent siege at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. If he reclaims the White House, he’s expected to direct new Justice Department leaders to drop the landmark case.
🎧 Trump claims the new indictment is election interference, saying it violates a DOJ policy about taking big steps too close to an election, NPR’s Carrie Johnson tells Up First. Judge Tanya Chutkan will need to figure out how to draw the line between which of Trump’s actions in the White House were part of his presidential duties and which were made as a candidate for office. Johnson says there’s no way this will be resolved before the election and it might not go to trial until next year due to the possibility of the Supreme Court’s involvement.
