Welcome back, Deadline: Legal Newsletter readers. We’re here with a special edition to cap off this historic Supreme Court term, which ended with the court finally ruling on Donald Trump’s immunity claim. Writing for the Republican appointees in the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts weakened the federal election interference case against Trump and all but guaranteed that it won’t go to trial before the defendant has a chance to win the presidency in November and crush the case himself.
Fischer might not derail those charges, but the new obstruction standard may prompt more litigation in the trial court to determine its impact, if any, on Trump’s case. Coupled with Monday’s immunity ruling, the question now is not only whether the federal election interference case ever goes to trial but how much of special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment against Trump for alleged 2020 election subversion will be left standing by the time it reaches any jury.
