Trump asks Supreme Court to take up immunity claim

Former President Donald Trump is seeking an extension of the delay in his election interference trial by appealing to the Supreme Court.

Trump claims immunity from prosecution, asserting that he is charged with plotting to overturn his 2020 election loss.

His legal team filed an emergency appeal on Monday, just four days after the justices heard a separate appeal from Trump.

This appeal aimed to allow him to stay on the presidential ballot despite efforts to remove him due to his actions following the 2020 election loss.

“Without immunity from criminal prosecution, the Presidency as we know it will cease to exist,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in their statement.

The submission maintains the suspension of what could be a groundbreaking criminal trial involving a former president, as the nation’s highest court deliberates on its course of action, the Associated Press reported.
