"Supreme Court Boosts Trump's Immunity Claim Amid Trial-Delay Strategy"

TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in April on former President Donald Trump's bid to dismiss his election interference indictment, focusing on the extent of a former president's immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken while in office. The court's carefully crafted language suggests it may reject Trump's broad immunity claims while protecting core presidential functions, potentially setting a precedent for future presidents. The case also raises questions about the scope of immunity for official acts and the court's refusal to consider Trump's argument related to impeachment.
