The Supreme Court of the United States has decided to hear former President Donald Trump, who is expected to be the Republican candidate for the presidential election of the United States in November, to claim immunity from charges of trying to reverse his defeat in the 2020 presidential election.
Accordingly, ex-President Trump not only had the opportunity to be recognized with immunity, but also took advantage of the opportunity to steer the election campaign to his advantage by delaying related trials for several months until a verdict was issued final of the Supreme Court.
Reuters reported on the 28th (local time) that the US Supreme Court has decided to proceed with a hearing on former President Trump’s claim of immunity for his supporters’ riot on January 6 at the Capitol.
The Supreme Court accepted former President Trump’s request to stay a Washington, DC federal appeals court ruling that rejected former President Trump’s immunity claim.
Accordingly, ex-President Trump’s side plans to present its first argument to the Supreme Court by the 19th of next month.
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, who prosecuted former President Trump, was asked to present his position in writing to the court by April 8.
The Supreme Court plans to receive former President Trump’s final argument by April 15th and then hold oral arguments on the 22nd of the same month.
Accordingly, former President Trump’s trial on charges of ‘subverting the 2020 presidential election’, which was due to take place on March 4, will be postponed for the time being. Previously, on the 12th of this month, former President Trump’s legal team applied to the Supreme Court to stay the ruling of the Washington DC Federal Court of Appeals which rejected former President Trump’s claim of immunity in connection with the indictment on charges of reversing the results of the presidential election.
Foreign media analyzed, with this Supreme Court decision, former President Trump’s campaign strategy of delaying the four criminal cases in which Trump was accused as much as possible and then pardoning himself or getting the Department of Justice to drop the indictment if he wins the November presidential election. have worked Former President Trump has been criminally indicted on 91 counts related to four incidents, including suspected meddling in the 2020 presidential election, the invasion of Congress on January 6, 2021, suspected suppression of a sex scandal, and leak confidential documents.
Steve Vladeck, a professor at the University of Texas School of Law, explained, “This decision will delay trials involving attempts to overturn presidential election results by at least three to five months.”
Reuters reported, “With this decision, America’s highest judicial body, where conservatives have a 6-3 advantage, is entering an electoral battle once again.”
Former President Trump welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision. “If the president does not have immunity, he will not be able to act properly or make decisions in the best interest of the United States,” he said on his social media platform, TruthSocial. Special Prosecutor Smith’s team did not comment on the Supreme Court’s decision.
