A federal judge in Washington, D.C. has rejected former President Donald Trump's motion to dismiss the special counsel's 2020 election interference case against him. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that Trump cannot be shielded from criminal prosecution for alleged conduct during his time in office. Trump had argued that the four charges brought against him should be dropped, but Judge Chutkan's ruling rejected this argument. The case is now expected to proceed to trial, where Trump will have the opportunity to defend himself against the charges.
