Supreme Court Rejects Trump's Immunity Claim
SCOTUS Deals Blow to Ex-President
Case Involved Delay of Trump's Trial
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Supreme Court has ruled that former President Donald Trump cannot delay his upcoming trial on charges that he incited the January 6th Capitol riot. The decision is a major setback for Trump, who has been seeking to avoid trial for months.
The case stems from a lawsuit filed by the House of Representatives, which accused Trump of inciting an insurrection against the government. Trump's attorneys argued that he was immune from prosecution because he was the sitting president at the time of the riot. However, the Supreme Court rejected this argument, ruling that the Constitution does not provide immunity for presidents who commit crimes.
The ruling is a significant victory for the House of Representatives and sets the stage for Trump's trial to proceed. The trial is scheduled to begin on September 19th.
