The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it would decide whether Donald Trump is entitled to broad immunity from federal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts that occurred while he was in office, CBS News reports.
Oral arguments are set for April 22, an expedited timeline.
“It’s unclear how much of an impact the court’s decision to take up the case will have on the timeline for Trump’s trial, since the justices could rule swiftly after hearing arguments.”
It’s not clear why the justices took so long to issue a one page order.
