Supreme Court:1Rule on Trump Claims of immunity in the 2020 election Now
The Supreme Court will not rule on Trump’s claims of immunity in the 2020 election case at this time.
On Friday, the Supreme Court denied the request of special counsel Jack Smith to expeditiously review the question of whether the former president Trump is shielded from prosecution in the federal case involving election meddling in 2020.
Why this matters The possibility that his federal 2020 election trial will go longer than the currently planned March 4 start date is increased by the high court’s ruling.

Leading the news: Oral arguments for the immunity issue are scheduled to start on January 9 at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
After the federal appeals court renders a decision, the Supreme Court may then determine whether to take the case further.
Quick catch-up: Smith the GOP front-runner for president, Donald Trump, filed a request earlier this month asking the high court to make a decision swiftly regarding whether or not he is “absolutely immune from federal prosecution for crimes committed while in office.”

The claim is crucial to Trump’s legal team’s defense, they have stated. Following the denial of arguments that he was immune from the indictment by U.S.
District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is presiding over the case, a stay of proceedings was requested.
The appeal is pending, so the case’s proceedings have been put on hold.
In weighing the claim, Smith attempted to avoid what would probably be a drawn-out federal appeals court procedure.
“This is an effort to keep that trial date as much as reasonably possible with existing legal mechanisms,” Derek Muller said a professor at the University of Notre Dame’s School of Law, informed Axios following Smith’s request.

The main picture: There has been disagreement between Trump and the prosecution regarding the dates of his four criminal trials, some of which were set for next year.
The defense team for Trump has made several attempts to push back his multiple trials until after the 2024 presidential election.
Smith argued in his motion that it was of “imperative public importance that respondent’s claims of immunity be resolved by this court and that respondent’s trial proceed as promptly as possible if his claim of immunity is rejected.”

The appeal of a Colorado Supreme Court decision that found the former president is ineligible to serve on the state’s legislature due to the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause is also pending before the justices ballots for the election of the next year.
The divided court determined that Trump was ineligible to hold public office again because of his actions related to the Capitol riot on January 6 and his attempts to void the election, which amounted to him inciting violence to obstruct the orderly transition of power.
