Starting as soon as April 22, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments pertaining to Donald Trump's claim that he is immune from prosecution on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election, putting a pause on his fits and starts federal trial until they've reached their decision on the matter.
According to The New York Times, the brief order said the court will decide this question: “Whether and if so to what extent does a former president enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office.” As the outlet points out, the Supreme Court's response to Trump's bid for delay has some urgency behind it as the ending resolution will determine whether or not, or how soon, a trial or lack thereof will help or hinder the re-election he's campaigning towards.
