In a recent development, the Supreme Court has rejected Special Counsel Jack Smith's request to expedite the review of former President Donald Trump's defense of presidential immunity. As a result, the case, currently pending in front of Judge Tanya Chutkin in the district court in D.C., will now be argued in front of an appellate court three-judge panel on January 9. Subsequently, it is likely to be brought before the full appellate court en banc before potentially returning to the Supreme Court.
This decision by the Supreme Court significantly reduces the possibility of Donald Trump facing trial as originally scheduled for March 4, as the case faces further delays within the appellate process. Trump's legal team had sought this delay, and it appears their strategy has succeeded thus far.
