Court Rules Trump Not Immune from Prosecution, Setting Stage for Supreme Court Showdown

As legal battles intensify, Trump faces potential trial before the 2024 election, with the Supreme Court expected to focus on procedural aspects of his eligibility under the 14th Amendment.

• The DC Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that former President Donald Trump is not immune from criminal prosecution for his alleged role in seeking to undermine the 2020 election, setting the stage for a potential Supreme Court review.
• A Cook County judge in Illinois denied a bid by Trump to delay an objection to his candidacy, further complicating his legal battles as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on his eligibility under the 14th Amendment.
• The appeals court's decision was described as a significant blow to Trump's legal strategy to delay his trial, with legal experts suggesting it increases the likelihood of a trial before the 2024 election.
• Opinions vary on the potential impact of barring Trump from the ballot, with some warning it could backfire and further polarize the political landscape.
• The Supreme Court is expected to sidestep a direct ruling on Trump's disqualification, focusing instead on procedural aspects and leaving the ultimate decision to voters.
