SCOTUS to Hear Arguments in Trump Immunity Case in April

The Jan. 6 case is now on hold

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) will hear oral arguments the week of April 22 in a high-stakes dispute over whether former president Donald Trump enjoys immunity from federal criminal prosecution.

The order from the court on Wednesday keeps Trump's prosecution in the Jan. 6 case on hold for at least a few more months.

The justices said, in an unsigned order, that their review would be limited to a single question: "Whether and if so to what extent does a former President enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office."
