"Trump's Legal Maneuvers: Challenging Indictments and Presidential Immunity"

Former President Donald Trump is urging the Supreme Court to grant him full immunity against special counsel Jack Smith’s election subversion charges, warning of potential blackmail and extortion for future presidents if they don't. He also proposed an alternative route to delay the trial until after the November election. Trump's lawyers referenced Justice Brett Kavanaugh's past statements, appealing to his experiences. The case, with oral arguments scheduled for April 25, could have far-reaching consequences for future presidents and may complicate efforts to start a trial before the year ends.

"Trump Seeks Supreme Court Intervention in Election Interference Trial Immunity Fight"

Former President Donald Trump's lawyers are asking the Supreme Court to extend the delay in his election interference trial, claiming presidential immunity and arguing that he is immune from prosecution on charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The Supreme Court's decision on this matter could impact whether Trump stands trial before the November general election. Additionally, the Supreme Court is also considering whether Trump should be disqualified from the 2024 presidential election due to his actions following the 2020 election and his involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
