The former president is now highly unlikely to stand trial in the Justice Department’s election interference case before November
The Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a massive victory on Wednesday by agreeing to rule on whether he is immune from prosecution for acts committed while he was president. The court will hear arguments on April 22 and won’t hand down a decision until June — which means it’s unlikely a trial in the Justice Department’s election interference case will commence before the election. If Trump wins the election, he’ll of course appoint an attorney general who will toss the case, regardless of how the Supreme Court rules this summer.
By Wednesday night, Trumpland was celebrating.
“Literally popping champagne right now,” a lawyer close to Donald Trump told Rolling Stone late on Wednesday.
Maybe Biden should take one for the country. You know the court would rule against absolute immunity for something Biden did. And he’s old enough, that he probably wouldn’t even see jail. No more Trump, no question as to if the president is above the law. Win win.
The second they rule in Trump’s favor, Biden basically has free reign to do whatever the fuck he wants.
