As for Trump's state-level efforts to overturn the results, including the fake electors scheme, the high court told lower courts to analyze what of that conduct was an official act and what was not. If Chutkan does rule on on what is an official act and what is not, it's possible that Trump would appeal those rulings to the DC Circuit court and ultimately to the Supreme Court.
