The Supreme Court is set to rule on Monday whether former President Donald Trump can claim immunity from prosecution for his actions to overturn the 2020 election.
Chief Justice John Roberts announced that Monday would be the last day of rulings for the term. The decision on Trump’s case is expected to be issued last, starting at 10:00 a.m.
Trump faces a four-count indictment related to his efforts to challenge the 2020 election results. The court’s ruling could determine if he can be tried before the November election, where he is seeking to regain office. Lower courts had rejected Trump’s broad immunity claims, and the Supreme Court’s decision may set new guidelines for presidential immunity.
