Deep dives
Trump's lawyers appeal to Supreme Court to delay case
Donald Trump's lawyers have appealed to the Supreme Court in an effort to delay a criminal trial against him. They argue that without immunity from prosecution, the presidency as we know it will cease to exist. The lawyers claim that conducting a month-long trial at the height of the election season will disrupt Trump's ability to campaign effectively. The DC Circuit already rejected their arguments, calling them extreme and autocratic. It remains to be seen whether the Supreme Court will entertain the case.
