Supreme Court Expected To Rule On Trump Immunity Case Shortly

US
Homepagemarkets-real-timePolitical Market NewsPolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange Bullets

The Supreme Court is expected to rule shortly on whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution for acts committed whilst in office. Although a favourable ruling for Trump would effectively quash the two federal cases against, the prevailing view is that Trump is unlikely to see the inside of a courtroom in either federal case before the presidential election on November 5, regardless of the ruling. SCOTUS opinions will be posted here.

  • Axios reports: “When the justices heard the case in April, it appeared that some conservative justices might be open to at least some presidential immunity.”
  • Politico reports: “The smart money going into today is on Trump at least partially losing — but the court can be unpredictable, and a narrow ruling could delay Trump’s trial past the election (or forever if he wins).”
  • Whichever way the court rules, critics of the conservative majority panel are likely to argue that the court has effectively granted Trump 'immunity by delay' by slow-walking the case after a federal appeals court unanimously rejected Trump’s immunity claim in February.
  • Punchbowl News notes: “If it wasn’t for Biden’s missteps, this is all we’d be talking about.”
