Chutkan has approved Smith's request to file an oversized brief on immunity issues in Trump's federal election case.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has signed off on Special Counsel Jack Smith's request to file an oversized opening brief regarding immunity issues as the federal election subversion case against Former President Donald Trump presses forward.
Trump's defense team argued in a motion on Monday that the 'fundamentally unfair' request from Smith should be shot down by Chutkan, in part because the brief's page count is over four times what opening briefs are usually confined to before the District of Columbia court system.But Chuktan wrote in her order a day later that the court would grant Smith's request 'to file an oversized brief' and shot down the defense's arguments about the legality of the briefing.
