"Supreme Court Grants Trump's Request for Extension in Immunity Decision"

Chief Justice John Roberts has given prosecutors a week to respond to former President Donald Trump’s request to delay his federal criminal election-subversion trial while he seeks to persuade the Supreme Court to dismiss it based on presidential immunity. The three-judge panel of a federal appeals court in Washington previously rejected Trump’s immunity claim, but the case will not return to trial until the Supreme Court acts on Trump’s request for emergency relief. Special counsel Jack Smith is expected to oppose Trump’s request and has urged the courts to resolve the immunity dispute quickly so that the trial can proceed later this year.
