On Thursday, Trump’s legal team filed a notice pushing back against Chutkan’s order. Chutkan ruled that the Constitution’s text, structure, and history do not support Trump’s contention that he couldn’t be charged for actions within the ”outer perimeter” of his official duties as president. According to The Messenger, Trump’s attorneys filed a motion to pause the proceedings in the case pending the final resolution of his appeal. They are hoping to prevent the case from making it to trial before the election.
