Supreme Court Delays Decision on Trump's Immunity Question, Sending Appeal to D.C. Circuit Court
In a surprising twist, the Supreme Court has chosen not to decide on whether former President Donald Trump enjoys immunity from prosecution for actions taken during his presidency. The central question that could potentially invalidate numerous charges against him remains unanswered. The presiding judge in Trump's January 6th trial had previously ruled that he did not possess such immunity. In response, Trump's legal team filed an appeal with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. However, Special Counsel Jack Smith requested that the Supreme Court bypass the circuit court and immediately address the matter. Unfortunately for Smith, the Supreme Court declined to intervene at this time.
