Well, howdy there internet people, it's Bell again.

So today we're going to talk about Trump's entanglements resurfacing in DC.

After a lengthy seven-month delay, things will start moving in earnest again on August 16th

in the federal elections interference case against the former president.

Even though Trump himself will not be required to attend,

the parties will be back before Judge Chutkin.

Trump's attorney sought to dismiss the case on statutory grounds,

but that move was denied.

Though the judge said they could refile the motion once presidential immunity issues were resolved.

The judge will have to make determinations in applying the Supreme Court's decision.

She will decide which actions were official acts

and which actions, if any, were private acts.

Even though a trial before the election is incredibly unlikely and most would say impossible,

the Trump campaign has a whole different set of issues to worry about now.

The procedural hearings and the attempt to sort out

whether acts were official or not will probably draw more attention to an

entanglement the campaign would most certainly like to bury.

Trump's other cases are winding their way through various appeals and hearings

and will continue to pop up now and then,

but none are likely to move forward in earnest before the election.

The development in the DC case, on the other hand, will create a new barrage of headlines, discussion, and analysis that will end up

dominating the new cycles, some days and maybe some weeks.
