Supreme Court sets April arguments over whether Trump can be prosecuted for election interference
SUMMARY: The Supreme Court will decide if former President Trump can be prosecuted for interfering with the 2020 election, potentially impacting a trial before the November election. Arguments will be heard in late April and a decision is expected before the end of June. Trump’s lawyers seek to delay the trial until after the election. The timing of a trial depends on the justices ruling quickly. The case is of national importance and could disrupt Trump’s campaign against Biden if a trial occurs during the election season. Lower courts have rejected Trump’s claim of immunity for official acts. The case is separate from Trump’s appeal to remain on the ballot following the 2020 election.
