Former President Trump’s federal Jan. 6 case is headed back to a D.C. courtroom on Thursday.

Trump will not be there in person, but attorneys and prosecutors on special counsel Jack Smith’s team are set to argue before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine how the case should proceed now that the Supreme Court ruled Trump has broad immunity from criminal prosecution.

That high court decision in July sent Trump’s criminal prosecution back to the lower court to apply the standard. In Chutkan’s case, she she sparked a flurry of activity in August when she announced she would hold a conference to chart the course of the case.

The conference hearing is set to begin in Washington, D.C. at 10 a.m. ET.

Chutkan is also planning to hold an arraignment on a new superseding indictment in the election subversion case that adjusted for immunity in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling. Trump is expected to plead not guilty.
