Supreme Court Rules on Trump's Immunity Case Delaying Trial Before Election
The US Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump has partial immunity from criminal charges related to trying to reverse the 2020 election results, leading to a delay in the trial likely not happening before the November election. Despite not granting full immunity, the ruling significantly benefits Trump by preventing a pre-election trial. The case will be sent back to the lower court, extending the legal process and potential appeals, further postponing any trial proceedings.
