The hearing that was set for next week has been rescheduled to September 5, as stated in a court order. Additionally, the deadline for court filings has been extended from this Friday to the end of August, indicating that significant developments in the case are unlikely until then. These delays were prompted by an unexpected request from government prosecutors on Thursday, seeking to slow down the process after a Supreme Court ruling in July raised questions about presidential immunity. Before this ruling, Smith had been keen on advancing the case and had even asked the Supreme Court for a decision on immunity before it was addressed by lower courts, anticipating that Trump would eventually appeal to them regardless. The justices denied Smith&#8217;s request at that time. In their postponement request submitted Thursday, Smith&#8217;s prosecutors mentioned they are still evaluating the new legal precedent established by last month&#8217;s Supreme Court decision in Trump v. United States and are consulting with other components of the Department of Justice (DOJ). They noted these consultations are ongoing but have not yet reached a final conclusion regarding how to proceed with Trump&#8217;s case.
