A hearing on the next steps in the federal election subversion case against former President Donald Trump will take place on September 5 after a trial judge on Friday granted an extension sought by special counsel Jack Smith.

The deadline for a status report that the parties were slated to file Friday has now been moved back to August 30, according to the new order from US District Judge Tanya Chutkan.  

Smith’s team on Thursday asked to push back the filing deadline and the hearing — originally scheduled for August 16 — because the prosecutors were continuing “to assess the new precedent set forth last month” by the Supreme Court in its immunity ruling. 

Trump did not oppose delaying the proceedings.
