The Supreme Court is set to rule on whether former President Donald Trump is immune to criminal charges related to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election, a decision that may come too late for trials before the upcoming election. Legal experts believe that the ruling may give Trump immunity regardless of its content due to the length of pretrial preparation required. There are currently three pending criminal trials against Trump, all of which are facing delays for various reasons. Critics argue that the Supreme Court took an unusually long time to reach a decision on Trump’s immunity claim, especially compared to past high-profile cases. The potential trial dates remain uncertain, with the possibility of further delays due to appeals and pretrial arguments. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has argued that the Biden administration is interfering with the election by keeping him tied up in court proceedings. The only trial that has been resolved is the New York hush money case, in which Trump was convicted on multiple counts of falsifying business records. The delays in the other cases have left that verdict as the only potential conviction before the election.
