Trump's Appeals in Federal Election Case Could Reach Supreme Court, Potentially Delaying Trial

Former President Donald Trump has filed an appeal against a judge's ruling that he is not immune from being charged with federal crimes related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The appeal could potentially delay his trial, impacting his ability to run for president in 2024. Trump's legal team argues for his immunity and claims that charging him violates the principle of double jeopardy. The timing of the appeal is crucial, as other trials are pending, and the courts will have to consider novel legal questions regarding a former president's indictment and prosecution. The outcome will determine whether Trump faces accountability at the ballot box or in a courtroom.
