Trump Seeks Supreme Court's Delay in Immunity Claim Hearing

Former President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to delay a decision on whether he has "absolute immunity" for actions taken during his presidency in his federal prosecution case. Trump's request is seen as an attempt to delay the trial, which is scheduled to begin in March. Last week, the special counsel asked the Supreme Court to bypass a federal appeals court and address the immunity question on an expedited schedule, but Trump opposes this, arguing that the matter should be carefully deliberated by the appeals court first.
