Former President Donald Trump’s federal criminal trial for election interference will be delayed indefinitely, the judge overseeing the proceedings ordered on Friday, calling off an early March trial date to resolve Trump’s repeated attempts to drop the case on the grounds of presidential immunity.

District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan called off a scheduled March 4 trial date, saying the court will set a new timeframe “if and when the mandate is returned,” as Trump’s presidential immunity case remains pending in appeals.

Trump has argued the case against him over his attempt to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election should be dismissed, claiming he should not face criminal prosecution for actions during his time as president unless he is first impeached and convicted in Congress.

Chutkan previously argued Trump does not enjoy a constitutional right to presidential immunity, saying former presidents do not have the “divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs” fellow citizens—but Trump appealed her decision, and the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals still hasn’t ruled yet.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
