Former President Donald Trump may potentially face a criminal trial before the upcoming election, as all proceedings in the Department of Justice (DOJ) election meddling case against him have been put on hold. The case is currently awaiting a ruling from a federal appeals court regarding Trump's claim of presidential immunity from criminal prosecution.
A three-judge panel in the appeals court has remained silent for the past three weeks, causing a delay in the scheduled March 4th trial date. Observers expected a swift decision, especially considering the significance of the case involving a former president and an unprecedented constitutional claim.
