TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to pause a lower court ruling that denies him presidential immunity from prosecution in an election interference case. His lawyers argue that a trial during an election campaign would disrupt his ability to campaign. If the Supreme Court grants the request, it could lead to a long delay in the criminal case alleging Trump's plot to overturn the 2020 election, possibly until after the November election. Trump faces three other criminal trials and has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, while his legal team has sought to delay the trials until after the 2024 election.
