Trump's Legal Strategy Prevails as Supreme Court Delays Decision, Possibly Delaying Election Subversion Case Until After 2024 Election

2024-02-29 65

The Supreme Court decided to hear Trump's appeal claiming he has absolute immunity from prosecution, keeping the case before the Court until a decision expected by June. This delays any verdict on Trump's alleged election subversion attempts until after the 2024 election. The decision is another victory for Trump's strategy of using the legal system's slow pace to his advantage. Oral arguments will be the week of April 22nd, with a decision likely by the end of the Court's term in June. The case tests the scope of presidential immunity and could impact Trump's upcoming criminal trial in DC set for March.
