The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments Thursday in a case that could significantly impact former President Trump’s legal battles. The case, Trump v. United States, will determine whether a former president can claim immunity from criminal charges for actions taken while in office. Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is investigating Trump’s alleged involvement in the January 6th Capitol riot and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, argues that presidents are not above the law. Trump’s legal team, on the other hand, contends that granting immunity is essential to protect the presidency from political influence.
