A federal judge declined Saturday to toss out former President Trump’s federal election subversion case over his assertion that he’s being unfairly and singularly prosecuted.
In a 16-page order, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan wrote that, at the outset of the trial process, the court must assume the allegations against Trump are truthful — and the “improper reframing of the allegations against him” he has presented so far cannot support dismissal.
“At this stage, the court cannot accept Defendant’s alternate narrative,” Chutkan wrote.
The case was put back in Chutkan’s hands just Friday, after a federal appeals court remanded the matter to the trial court shortly after the case was returned from the Supreme Court following its 6-3 decision last month granting former presidents at least presumptive immunity for official acts.
