house vote which formalizes the biden impeachment probe. it s not the top story in the country because we begin with breaking news. a major development today. a federal judge has formally ordered a pause in the donald trump criminal coup case led by jack smith. this is a big deal. we ll walk through what s happening. the judge has effectively and legally paused the proceedings in her own courtroom until a key claim that trump s lawyers want adjudicated, their argument that he s immune to this whole case, this is paused until the supreme court answers requests to deal with it. it s a procedural rule. i can tell you this is a big deal, probably the largest procedural win for trump s lawyers in this case and by the same token it s a rare setback for special counsel jack smith who has been on a winning streak on many issues. i remind you of some of them. they won on the gag order and the evidence. they have previous criminal questions that went to the supreme court decided fo
