Judge Tanya Chutkan recently engaged in a discussion with prosecutor Thomas Windom regarding the topic of immunity in a courtroom setting. Windom argued that the situation at hand was not typical due to the creation of new law by the Supreme Court, prompting the need for a departure from the ordinary course of action.
Windom emphasized the importance of finding an efficient and practical way forward, suggesting that a structured schedule leading to a single appeal would be beneficial. He advocated for addressing all immunity issues in a comprehensive manner, encompassing both pled and unpled acts, to enable Chutkan to make well-rounded decisions on the matter.
Furthermore, Windom mentioned that the special counsel's immunity arguments would include various exhibits, such as transcripts of grand jury testimony. In the prosecutor's brief, it was outlined that the court would be presented with reasons why certain conduct should be considered private in nature and not eligible for immunity.
