Supreme Court to Hear Trump's Immunity Claim, May Delay Trials
  • The US Supreme Court has agreed to review Donald Trump's claim of immunity from prosecution for his actions as president.

  • Trump's legal strategy has effectively used pretrial motions to delay upcoming trials.

  • The Supreme Court's review is set to postpone Trump's federal trial for election interference until at least September.

  • A separate trial regarding the mishandling of classified documents is also expected to face delays.

  • These legal delays could potentially allow Trump to evade prosecution, more so if he wins the next presidential election.

  • The court's ruling on this matter will set a precedent for the immunity of future presidents and the scope of their post-presidential powers.

  • Concerns are rising about the ability to conclude Trump's trial before the 2024 election, and how this may affect the election and the Supreme Court's standing.
