Supreme Court's Potential Involvement in Trump Trial Sparks Interest

An appeals court upheld the gag order on Trump in his election interference case, with modifications allowing him to publicly comment on people involved. Trump's lawyers are expected to appeal this decision to the Supreme Court. In another matter, Trump's legal team is appealing the rejection of their argument for "presidential immunity" in the election interference case. The appeals process could delay the trial, and if the Supreme Court gets involved, it could decide whether a former president can be shielded from criminal prosecution. Former Vice President Mike Pence is on the witness list for the Georgia election interference case, and special counsel Jack Smith plans to use Trump's history of voter fraud claims as evidence. In Trump's New York civil fraud trial, an accounting expert testified that there was no evidence of accounting fraud, but rather calculation errors.
