"Supreme Court's Role in Trump's Election Theft Trial Explained"

Former President Donald Trump is seeking protection from federal prosecution by asking the Supreme Court to establish a constitutional rule based on Richard Nixon's defense of a spy program. Special Counsel Jack Smith, on the other hand, wants the Court to decide that Trump is not immune from prosecution for his attempted election theft and to do so quickly. The Supreme Court's decision in the case United States v. Trump could have significant implications for Trump's criminal trials and potential conviction. If the Court does not provide answers to the legal questions surrounding Trump's prosecutions, he may escape justice altogether.
