"Supreme Court's April 25 Hearing: Trump's Presidential Immunity Case"

The Supreme Court will hear arguments on April 25 regarding whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case. Trump's criminal trial has been put on hold pending the resolution of this matter, and a ruling is expected by late June. This will be the second time this term the Supreme Court will hear a case involving Trump, following a recent unanimous ruling in his favor regarding Colorado's attempt to remove him from the 2024 primary ballot. Trump and his legal team argue that presidential immunity is crucial for the effective functioning of the presidency, while the prosecution contends that criminal prosecution imposes a far greater personal vulnerability on the President than any civil penalty.
