On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it will hear oral arguments on April 25 over whether former President Donald Trump is, as he claims, totally immune from criminal prosecution and specifically, against a myriad of charges in Washington, D.C., alleging he conspired to subvert the results of the 2020 election.

Special counsel Jack Smith has seen his four-count indictment against the former president face delay after delay as Trump appealed the question of his liability for the charges all the way up to the nation’s highest court.

Though oral arguments will unfold on April 25, a decision could come either quickly or slowly — and discerning which is nearly impossible to say at this point.

Trump, the leading 2024 presidential nominee for the GOP in his bid to recapture the White House, is already facing a daunting schedule this spring — a month before oral arguments, on March 25, he is expected to face criminal trial in New York over allegations that he lied about making hush money payments to a porn star ahead of the 2016 election.
