TL;DR Summary

Nick Akerman, a Watergate prosecutor, predicts that the Supreme Court will not hear former President Donald Trump's appeal on presidential immunity in connection with charges from the January 6 insurrection and the 2020 election interference case. Trump has been charged with several counts, including conspiracy to defraud the United States, and has pleaded not guilty, claiming political targeting. The Supreme Court has already declined to rule on Trump's claims, stating an appellate court must first decide. Legal analysts suggest Trump may be attempting to delay his trial, set for March 4, until after the 2024 presidential election, where a win could allow him to pardon himself or drop the charges. However, Akerman believes the Supreme Court will avoid intervening in the matter, allowing the trial to proceed as scheduled.
