In a recent development, former President Donald Trump's legal team has requested a delay in the E. Jean Carroll case to consider their legal options. The team's strategy appears to be centered around pushing the immunity issue as far as possible. They have indicated that they may pursue their options in the Court of Appeals and potentially even take the case to the United States Supreme Court.
This request for a delay is consistent with the broader strategy employed by the former president's legal team, as they aim to buy more time and delay proceedings in multiple cases. However, it is worth noting that there may be limits to their approach. The United States Supreme Court justices are unlikely to eagerly jump into the myriad of legal challenges presented to them on a daily basis. With a limited docket and numerous important cases to decide, they may hesitate to get involved in political disputes. The court is well aware that any decision they make will be perceived as political by a significant portion of the country, which makes them cautious and hesitant.
