"Trump Appeals to Supreme Court for Immunity in Criminal and Election Interference Cases"

Donald Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt a judicial decision rejecting his claim of immunity from prosecution for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, warning that without such protection, "the presidency as we know it will cease to exist." Trump's lawyers argue that a criminal trial during the election season would disrupt his ability to campaign against President Joe Biden. The Supreme Court's conservative majority, which includes three justices appointed by Trump, will consider his request.
