Trump's Legal Team Seeks to Delay Trial Until After 2024 Election

Supreme Court Reviews Obstruction Charge and Presidential Immunity Claims

Donald Trump's legal team is attempting to delay his trial until after the 2024 election, where he is currently the front-runner for the Republican nomination. If he wins, he could potentially order the charges against him to be dropped.
The Supreme Court is reviewing an obstruction charge used against Trump and hundreds of his supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. This could potentially affect the scope and timing of the election case against Trump.
Trump's lawyers are arguing that he is immune from prosecution for actions he took while in office. This argument is being challenged by special counsel Jack Smith, who has asked the Supreme Court to fast-track an appeal.
Trump is at the center of at least four separate criminal investigations, at both the state and federal levels, into matters related to his business and political careers.
Trump's first criminal trial is scheduled to begin in March, but legal appeals threaten that date.
