"The Government's 278 Unopposed Motion to Vacate Briefing Schedule is hereby GRANTED. All remaining deadlines in the pretrial schedule are VACATED. By December 2, 2024, the Government shall file a status report indicating its proposed course for this case going forward," the ruling read.
Special Counsel Jack Smith asked the court to give the government until December 2 to assess the "unprecedented circumstance" of an incoming US president being prosecuted on criminal charges to determine the appropriate course of action.
