The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether or not 45^th President Donald Trump can claim presidential immunity in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election case that accuses him of criminal election interference charges.

On Wednesday, the high court announced that it will hear the case and decide “whether and if so to what extent does a former president enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office.”

While the court agreed to expedite the case, it will commence the week of April 22^nd.

Until then, no trial can take place as the case is on hold.

This timeline delays Smith’s January 6^th trial against Trump. Instead of it beginning on March 4^th, the earliest that a trial could begin would be in May.
