Former President Trump's legal battle took an unexpected turn as the Supreme Court refused to expedite a case seeking to determine if he has immunity from criminal prosecution. The move left many questioning why the high court chose not to answer this pressing question right away. However, it seems that the justices were not convinced by the arguments put forth by Jack Smith, the lawyer representing Trump.
While the Supreme Court refused to fast-track the case, there is a silver lining for those seeking a resolution. The DC Appellate court has shown great seriousness in handling the matter, scheduling an expedited hearing and setting up an aggressive briefing schedule. This means that the case will reach the appeal court quickly, possibly even before the Iowa Republican caucuses in January.
