Jordan Rubin is the Deadline: Legal Blog writer. He was a prosecutor for the New York County District Attorney’s Office in Manhattan and is the author of “Bizarro,' a book about the secret war on synthetic drugs. Before he joined MSNBC, he was a legal reporter for Bloomberg Law.

Welcome back, Deadline: Legal Newsletter readers. In a split screen for the ages, the Supreme Court heard Donald Trump’s bid for immunity in one of his criminal cases while he sat on trial in another. The immediate upshot of the high-court hearing in Washington is that the Manhattan trial may be the only criminal one Trump faces before the November election. And depending on how that election goes, it may be the only criminal trial he ever faces.

Of course, if Trump wins that election, his federal cases will be as good as gone, and any state cases may at least be stalled while he’s in office. In the trial that’s happening, Manhattan prosecutors gave their opening statement and called their first witness, David Pecker. The former National Enquirer publisher testified that he agreed with then-candidate Trump and fixer Michael Cohen to look out for negative stories impacting the 2016 campaign.
