Trump Seeks Supreme Court Shield from Election Fraud Trial
February 13, 2024Former President Donald Trump has requested the Supreme Court to postpone his trial for alleged election fraud, citing presidential immunity.
The Supreme Court's decision on the delay could influence the 2024 US presidential election and Trump's potential candidacy.
Legal experts speculate that the Court may not side with Trump, potentially affecting his eligibility for the 2024 race.
If legal proceedings extend beyond the 2025 inauguration, they could impact Trump's governance should he be elected.
Trump maintains a strong base of support, which may be bolstered by the ongoing legal narrative.
Prosecutors have a deadline of Feb. 20 to respond to Trump's appeal, while a group of former GOP officials has opposed the trial delay.
