The Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision will further delay former President Donald Trump’s Washington criminal case related to Jan. 6 and efforts to overturn the 2020 election, virtually guaranteeing that Trump’s trial won’t start before Election Day. Instead, the high court’s ruling sets the stage for hearings before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan on what allegations in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment should be considered official acts and, therefore, potentially immune from prosecution. Smith’s team is likely to argue that all of the charges against Trump can stand. |
