The Supreme Court’s nine justices must now decide whether to accept the case or possibly reject it, which would automatically allow the lower court’s ruling to take effect.
Agence France-Presse reported that an appeal asking the Supreme Court to suspend the implementation of a previous federal appeals court ruling will be crucial in determining whether Trump can be tried for trying to overturn the 2020 election. In that election, Trump lost to current US President Biden.
The U.S. presidential election will take place in nine months. The far-right former President Trump may run on behalf of the Republican Party and face off once morest Biden for the second time. Trump’s appeal is tantamount to leaving his fate to the Supreme Court.
Trump is the first major presidential candidate in U.S. history to campaign under the shadow of multiple criminal and legal investigations and trials. He faces 91 charges in four criminal cases related to his taking top-secret documents from the White House when he left, using hush money to suppress damaging accusations of extramarital sex and a multi-pronged attempt to oust Biden The winning election in 2020.
The federal appeals court, which ranks just below the Supreme Court, ruled earlier this month that Trump does not enjoy immunity from prosecution. A federal appeals court judge said Trump’s claim to immunity from criminal liability for actions he took while in the White House “is not supported by precedent, history or the text and structure of the Constitution.”
Trump has maintained that the president must have full legal immunity to carry out his duties without “fear” of retaliation. However, the federal appeals court said that placing the president “out of the reach” of the judiciary and legislative bodies by granting immunity would “undermine our system of separation of powers.”
The appeals court stayed the ruling until today to give Trump a chance to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Trump’s trial for attempting to subvert the 2020 election was originally scheduled to begin on March 4, but was delayed due to appeals.
With the U.S. presidential election approaching, the timing of the Supreme Court’s response will further affect the trial schedule
