SUMMARY: The Supreme Court delayed the criminal case against Donald Trump for efforts to overturn the 2020 election, hindering his trial prospects before the 2024 election. In a 6-3 decision, the Court established absolute immunity for former presidents' official acts, leaving lower courts to apply this to Trump's case. Trump, facing multiple indictments, denies wrongdoing and claims political bias. If he wins the 2024 election, he might seek to dismiss federal prosecutions or pardon himself.
