Supreme Court to rule Monday on Trump's claims of presidential immunity in federal election interference case

Supreme Court to rule Monday on Trump's claims of presidential immunity in federal election interference case

 


WASHINGTON The Supreme Court is scheduled to rule Monday on whether former President Donald Trump has full presidential immunity that would protect him from prosecution for trying to overturn the 2020 election.

The judges waited until the day before the summer holidays to issue their final decision on the high-profile case. It was the last to be debated this term.

Three other cases are scheduled to be heard Monday, two involving Republican-backed state laws aimed at regulating social media platforms and the other over when companies can challenge federal agencies' rulemaking.

On Friday, the court ruled in a separate case related to the Jan. 6 criminal proceedings, but the narrow ruling likely won't have much impact on the former president's criminal case.

In August 2023, Special Prosecutor Jack Smith charged Trump with engaging in three criminal conspiracies: defrauding the United States by using dishonesty, fraud, and deception to interfere with the electoral voting process; obstructing the January 6 Congressional proceedings in which the collected results of the presidential election are counted and certified; and work against the right to vote and the right to have that vote counted.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He says the prosecutions are political and orchestrated by his opponents to prevent his bid to return to power.

Trump has asked for the case to be dismissed, saying that because he was president at the time of the acts charged in the indictment, he is protected by “absolute immunity.” He has argued that his actions fall within the category of official acts that cannot be prosecuted.

The special prosecutor's office countered that such official acts are subject to review by the criminal justice system.

During arguments, the court hinted that it might send the case back to a lower court for evidentiary hearings to determine whether his actions amounted to official acts. Such a move would likely delay the case going to a jury before the November election.

In a separate case, Trump was convicted by a New York jury in May on charges of falsifying business records related to secret payments to a porn star in the final days of the 2016 election. He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11.

Trump still faces charges in two other ongoing cases, including a case brought by Smith related to classified documents taken from him after he left office. Georgia Attorney Fani Willis also charged him in connection with efforts to overturn the 2020 election, but that case has been mired in accusations that she had a relationship with a prosecutor she hired to work with her office. Trump has also pleaded not guilty in those cases.
