The Supreme Court agreed Wednesday to decide whether Donald Trump may claim immunity in special counsel Jack Smith’s election subversion case, adding another explosive appeal from the former president to its docket and further delaying his federal trial.
The court agreed to expedite the case and hear arguments the week of April 22.
The move puts the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination on track for another high-stakes date with the high court, which earlier this month heard arguments in a separate case questioning whether Trump disqualified himself from running for a second term under the 14th Amendment’s “insurrection ban.”
The high court ordered that a lower court ruling against Trump remain on hold until it decides the issue.
CNN has reached out to Smith’s office for comment.
The decision is a significant victory for Trump for at least two reasons: He will now be able to argue for sweeping presidential immunity that, if granted, could undermine the bevy of legal challenges he faces and he will also be able to push off a trial, likely for several weeks at least.
We really cannot go on like this.
