"Supreme Court Rejects Trump's Immunity Defense in Classified Documents Case"

TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court is expected to reject Donald Trump's appeal for immunity from prosecution, allowing him to face trial on charges related to the 2020 election. A federal appeals panel unanimously rejected Trump's claim of immunity, stating that the presidency does not place former occupants above the law. Trump plans to appeal the decision, but legal experts believe the Supreme Court is unlikely to hear his case. If the Supreme Court declines to take up the issue, the case will return to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to set a trial date.
