The U.S. Supreme Court has extended the delay in the criminal case against former President Donald Trump on charges he plotted to overturn the 2020 election, reducing the chance that Trump could be tried before the November election.
In a historic ruling, the justices said Monday for the first time that former presidents can be shielded from prosecution for at least some of what they do in the Oval Office. But rather than do it themselves, the justices ordered lower courts to figure out precisely how to apply the decision to Trump’s case.
The immunity case was the last case argued. So it’s not unusual that it would be among the last decided. But the timing of the court’s resolution of Trump’s immunity may be as important as the eventual ruling. By holding on to the case until early July, the justices have reduced, if not eliminated, the chance that Trump will have to stand trial before the November election, no matter what the court decides.Steven Stamkos says he has signed with the Nashville Predators, leaving Tampa Bay after 16 NHL seasons
