Trump's Legal Maneuvers: Seeking Immunity and Delay in Criminal Cases

Former President Donald Trump is claiming "presidential immunity" in all four criminal cases against him, including charges related to hush money payments and attempts to overturn the 2020 election. The Supreme Court will soon decide if ex-presidents can be criminally prosecuted for actions taken while in office. Trump's requests to delay his trials based on immunity claims have been met with resistance from courts, and the DOJ argues that presidents are not entitled to immunity from criminal charges. The outcome of the Supreme Court's decision will determine when the federal election case goes to trial, and Trump's immunity motions are seen as part of a broader tactic to delay the cases, potentially until after the 2024 election.
