Judge Denies Trump's Attempts to Delay DC Election Interference Trial: Despite Trump's appeal, the DC election interference trial is moving forward with the judge denying motions to dismiss and urging progress towards the March 4th trial date.
In the ongoing DC election interference case against Donald Trump, the special counsel's office has successfully opposed Trump's attempts to halt the trial date. Trump's argument for immunity against the indictment has been denied by the judge, leading him to file an appeal. The trial judge, Chutkan, has ruled that she can still move the case forward despite the appeal being filed. The government has urged the judge to deny any motions to dismiss and keep the case on track towards the March 4th trial date. Trump has stated he will not participate in anything while the motion is pending, citing a 1982 case called Griggs. However, the government argues that the trial judge can still make progress on the case, including denying pending motions to dismiss.
Judge Chutkan's Ruling on Stay of Proceedings in Trump's Immunity Case Anticipated Soon: Judge Chutkan is expected to rule on a stay of all or parts of Trump's immunity case, but the DOJ did not provide strong arguments for a stay if Trump is unlikely to win his appeal. The decision and potential further proceedings are anticipated.
Judge Chutkan is expected to rule on a stay of all activity related to Donald Trump's immunity case, but may only stay the aspects directly related to the immunity issue. The Department of Justice had an opportunity to argue that the case should not be stayed if they believe Trump is unlikely to win his appeal, but did not provide extensive arguments for this in their brief. The decision on whether to stay the proceedings is anticipated soon, with additional briefs and potential oral arguments to come. The appellate court has not yet weighed in on the matter.

Meanwhile, a group of donors, inspired by the need for transparency in charitable giving, founded GiveWell in 2007. They were disappointed by the lack of helpful information from charities and now dedicate their efforts to researching and promoting the most effective charitable opportunities in global health and poverty alleviation.
