Trump immunity ruling due for release in Supreme Court's final decision day

  • The Supreme Court is set to rule on whether former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution on federal election interference charges.
  • The decision will determine the fate of the high-stakes criminal case brought by special counsel Jack Smith.
  • Trump is charged in a four-count indictment with illegally conspiring to overturn his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.

The Supreme Court is poised Monday morning to release the final opinions of its term — including a ruling on whether former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution on federal election interference charges.

The decision by the high court, whose six-seat conservative majority includes three members nominated by Trump, will determine the fate of the high-stakes criminal case brought by special counsel Jack Smith.

Trump is charged in a four-count indictment with illegally conspiring to overturn his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.

The case in Washington, D.C., federal court has been on pause while Trump argues that he is immune from prosecution for any official acts he performed while he was president.
