Former Republican Representative Liz Cheney has urged the Supreme Court to rule swiftly on former President Donald Trump’s claim of presidential immunity. Trump’s defense seeks to shield him from criminal charges related to his alleged role in the January 6th Capitol riot. Cheney warns that if the trial is delayed, critical evidence may be lost, and the public may never have the opportunity to hold Trump accountable for his actions.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments this week on whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution in a federal case charging him with plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The court’s decision could have significant legal and political consequences, including determining the timing of a potential trial for Trump before the November presidential election.
Jury selection for the criminal hush money trial of former President Donald Trump has concluded, with opening statements from the prosecution and defense scheduled for today. The jury will hear evidence against Trump and consider his defense before determining his fate. Trump has repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with the case on Truth Social and asserted his presidential immunity, an argument that will be heard by the Supreme Court later this week. In addition to the hush money trial, Trump faces other legal challenges, including a hearing on the cancellation of his appeal bond in the civil fraud trial ruling and the public filing of witness statements in the classified documents case.
