Justices' decision could delay Trump's election fraud case by months, possibly beyond the November vote.
The Supreme Court could create a presidential immunity test to pass down to the trial judge in Donald Trump's election fraud case, a legal expert has told Newsweek.It could cause months of delay in the Washington trial. If Trump is elected president, he could then end the case by either pardoning himself or appointing a favorable attorney general to drop the charges.
Peter Shane, a constitutional law professor at New York University, told Newsweek that he didn't think the Supreme Court will give a ruling that will outright grant immunity to Trump from the D.C. case.He said it is more likely that the court may remand the case back to the trial judge, Tanya Chutkan, with a new immunity formula through which she could assess whether the Trump trial can go ahead.The process is called a Supreme Court 'remand'.
