After *** long delay. This is the first hearing that moves former President Donald Trump's criminal election interference case forward. *** judge will decide when and what happens next. Special counsel Jack Smith and his team filed an updated indictment last week removing allegations of Trump's pressure on law enforcement and the justice department's effort to help him stay in power following the 2020 election.
