The Supreme Court will hear Donald Trump’s claim that he is immune from prosecution over his effort to stay in power after losing the 2020 election.
Per an order issued on Wednesday, the court will hear arguments in the case the week of April 22.
The move keeps the case frozen at the district court level, and threatens to upend a unanimous ruling from a D.C. Circuit appellate panel holding that prosecutors were well within their rights to prosecute a former President, and that Trump’s efforts to reverse his loss were well outside the scope of his official duties.
