"Trump Seeks Absolute Immunity from Federal Indictment in Supreme Court"

Former President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to dismiss his indictment on federal charges related to the 2020 election, arguing that criminal prosecution poses a "mortal threat" to the presidency's independence. Trump's lawyers have requested the court to delay the trial through various means, including determining whether his alleged criminal acts were part of his official duties as president. Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy and obstruction, and his preferred outcome is for the Supreme Court to entirely dismiss the indictment, although experts consider this outcome unlikely. Additionally, Trump could also face trials in New York on charges related to falsifying business records and election interference in Georgia.
