The Supreme Court, featuring three justices appointed during the Trump administration, has consented on Wednesday to assess whether former President Donald Trump can assert presidential immunity to evade his federal election interference trial.

In a concise order, the court announced its intention to hear arguments and deliver a verdict on Trump’s claim of presidential immunity.

The order stipulates that the January 6 trial will remain completely suspended until the Supreme Court issues a ruling.

The high court has opted for an expedited handling of the case, scheduling arguments for the week of April 22, which is more than a month after the Super Tuesday primaries, The New Republic reported.

The reason for the case commencing in April is not explicitly stated. However, it is anticipated that the actual ruling might not materialize until June at the earliest, given the potential timeline.

Should the Supreme Court swiftly dismiss Trump’s audacious immunity plea, it could pave the way for a conclusive trial on the 2020 election interference to take place in the later part of this summer or fall.

Nevertheless, there is no assurance that a final decision will be reached before November.
