Trump's Jan. 6 Case Resumes -- Days After He Claimed A Right To 'Interfere' In The Election

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : In a filing last week, Smith said he is prepared to move forward quickly to reveal to Trump and to the court "additional unpled categories of evidence."
45% : The morning hearing, which Trump is not expected to attend, comes just four days after Trump told Fox News' Mark Levin: "Whoever heard -- you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election, where you have every right to do it, and your poll numbers go up?"After regaining control of the case last month, Chutkan immediately scheduled a status conference to hear how prosecutors and Trump's lawyer envision going forward, in light of the Supreme Court immunity decision.
39% : U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is expected to lay out a schedule for the revised indictment of Trump filed by special counsel Jack Smith last week.
34% : The reason for the delay was unclear at the time, but now appears to have been because Smith was in the process of presenting the charges to a new federal grand jury -- presumably so that Trump cannot argue that the original, 2023 grand jury's decision to indict him had been tainted by evidence that the Supreme Court subsequently said could not be used.
31% : Finally, Trump is scheduled to be sentenced in New York City on Sept. 18, after he was convicted on 34 felony counts in May for falsifying business records to hide a $130,000 hush money payment to a porn actor in the days ahead of the 2016 election.
29% : If Trump wins the presidency in November, he would almost certainly order his attorney general to dismiss the federal cases against him and would likely seek to postpone the state-level cases until he is no longer in office.
26% : If convicted, Trump could receive decades in federal prison.
25% : Trump faces a second indictment based on his coup attempt in Georgia, as well.
23% : Trump will be officially arraigned on the revised indictment at Thursday's hearing, although Chutkan granted his request to not attend it in person and to instead allow his lawyers to plead not guilty on his behalf.
20% : That plan suggests they will argue that everything Trump is accused of doing in the revised indictment is "official" conduct protected by the Supreme Court's ruling.
