"Trump Seeks Supreme Court Delay in January 6 Criminal Case"

Former President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to block a ruling that rejected his claims of immunity from criminal charges related to the January 6 Capitol riot, arguing that a trial during the election season would disrupt his ability to campaign. The emergency filing puts the Supreme Court in a politically fraught position, as it also considers whether Trump should be disqualified from the ballot for his actions on January 6. The court's decision on Trump's request will have significant implications for his potential trial and his bid for the Republican nomination and presidency.
