| 0:00.0 | In a legal victory for President Trump, the judge who's currently overseeing the case |
| 0:16.0 | over in Washington, D.C., she has decided to pause all the court proceedings pending a decision |
| 0:21.3 | from the U.S. Supreme Court. Specifically, Judge Tanya Chutkin, who was appointed to the |
| 0:25.6 | bench by Barack Obama, she has decided two days ago to pause the case until the U.S. Supreme |
| 0:30.4 | Court makes a determination as to whether or not Trump is covered under the presidential |
| 0:34.3 | immunity doctrine. Here's specifically what she wrote in her court order which was published |

| 1:25.2 | says something different about that particular gag order, she will abide accordingly. Quote, |
| 1:29.3 | nonetheless, if he asks the court reviewing his immunity appeal to also take temporary |
| 1:33.7 | jurisdiction over the enforcement of those measures, and that court agrees to do so, |
| 1:37.6 | this court, of course, will be bound by that decision. Now, even though this is only a pause, |
