The U.S. Supreme Court will soon weigh in on whether Donald Trump can claim sweeping presidential immunity in the face of a federal prosecutor’s case against him for his alleged election subversion in 2020 and on Jan. 6.
The justices said in an order issued Wednesday that they will take up the question in oral arguments during the week of April 22 — which further delays Trump’s prosecution, already paused while he has been pressing his immunity appeal in the lower courts.
Trump is facing four felony counts, including conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruction, in connection with what prosecutors call his plot to remain in power. He pleaded not guilty to the charges, brought by special counsel Jack Smith, last year.
