Conservative justices may be delaying Trump's January 6 case until after the 2024 presidential election.
Conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices may be trying to delay former President Donald Trump's election fraud case rather than grant him full presidential immunity, a legal expert said.Trump was indicted on four counts of allegedly working to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the run-up to the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. It is one of four criminal cases that Trump is facing while he campaigns as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
But there are no legitimate grounds for saying that the former president was acting in his official capacity—and thus entitled to some immunity,' Brescia said.During Thursday's hearing, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was appointed by Trump, said that President Gerald Ford's pardoning of Richard Nixon is now considered one of the best presidential decisions in U.S. history.
