How the Supreme Court could rule on Trump immunity

The Supreme Court is poised to decide the most high-stakes case of 2024, one that will determine whether former President Donald Trump can claim absolute immunity from his criminal indictments.

The justices are slated to hand down new decisions Thursday and Friday morning at 10 a.m. as they seek to whittle down the more than 20 outstanding cases yet to be decided this term — meaning the answer to Trump’s bid for presidential immunity could come any day now.

With the expectation that a decision on Trump’s immunity question will come by the end of this week or next, the former president posted to his Truth Social account Sunday night with a final plea to the nine justices to find that he enjoys protection from prosecution.

“Without Presidential Immunity, a President will not be able to properly function, or make decisions, in the best interest of the United States of America,” Trump wrote.
