Supreme Court agrees to take up Trump immunity claim, leaving election trial paused

by | Feb 28, 2024

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court announced that it would agree to decide whether President Donald Trump has broad immunity from federal prosecution for allegedly engaging in official acts while in office.

The justices will weigh a case that has significant implications for the president for the second time in a month, thanks to the ruling from the high court, which has a 6 to 3 conservative majority. The Supreme Court will consider whether Trump's legal rights are protected from criminal liability in this case.
