Prosecutors Seek Simpler Path in Federal Election Case, as Trump Seeks Delays
Briefly

Federal prosecutors and Donald Trump's lawyers filed proposals regarding the case of overturning the 2020 election after a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, showcasing contrasting strategies.
Prosecutors, led by special counsel Jack Smith, indicated that they would move forward with revised charges that they claim avoid the implications of the Supreme Court's ruling. They aim to demonstrate that the ruling on immunity does not apply to their new allegations against Trump.
Trump's legal team articulated a broad proposal for their strategy going forward, signaling they would challenge the entire indictment, including the process of appointing the special counsel, indicating a lengthy legal battle ahead.
The defense's strategy, laid out for Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, emphasizes a potential prolonged timeline for the case, suggesting that they might push proceedings into next year, reflecting their commitment to contest the special counsel's appointment.
