Former US President Donald Trump has made a bold plea to the Supreme Court, demanding immunity from prosecution as the Senate gears up for a high-stakes trial. The move comes amid escalating legal battles that could redefine presidential accountability.
Trump’s Legal Gambit
In a dramatic escalation, Trump’s legal team has filed an emergency request with the Supreme Court, arguing that a sitting president cannot be criminally prosecuted. The filing asserts that such immunity is essential to protect the office from politically motivated attacks.
Senate Trial Looms
Meanwhile, the Senate is preparing for a historic trial that could determine Trump’s political future. With tensions running high, legal experts are divided over whether the Supreme Court will step in to delay or even dismiss the proceedings.
Key Questions
- Will the Supreme Court grant Trump’s request for immunity?
- How will the Senate trial proceed if the Court intervenes?
- What does this mean for future presidents?
The outcome could set a precedent with far-reaching implications for the balance of power in the US government.
