A new schedule from Judge Tanya Chutkan leaves the door open for an October surprise.

Special counsel Jack Smith and Donald Trump will be trading high-stakes legal filings — some potentially jammed with new and explosive evidence related to Trump’s effort to subvert the 2020 election — in the weeks leading up to Election Day.

A federal judge has given the special counsel’s team until Sept. 26 to detail what his team says will be a “comprehensive” slate of evidence detailing Trump’s alleged conspiracies to subvert the 2020 election.

A trial in the case, however, appears a long way off. The case had originally been slated to go to trial in March of this year, but it was delayed by litigation that wound up at the Supreme Court over Trump’s claims that he has immunity from the charges because they involve actions he says he took as president.
