In a surprising turn of events, the Supreme Court has delivered a blow to former President Donald Trump by rejecting a request to hear the Trump immunity dispute. The request, brought forth by special counsel Jack Smith, argued that Trump should be immune from criminal prosecution for his alleged interference with the 2020 election.
The Supreme Court's decision came in the form of a one-sentence order, providing no recorded vote or explanation for their denial. This dismissal means that the case will now be relegated to a lower appellate court, inevitably prolonging its resolution. Legal experts predict that it could take several months before the case makes its way back to the Supreme Court.
