Trump asks the Supreme Court to intervene in the lawsuit over his immunity and the assault on the Capitol. Of the nine Supreme Court justices, three were appointed by Trump.
The one in Washington is one of the four criminal charges that Trump faces. If the Washington trial is delayed, the first to be held could be the one he faces in New York for alleged irregular payments to Stormy Daniels. In addition, the trial in Florida is scheduled for May 20, in which Trump is accused of having illegally stored classified material in his Mar-a-Lago mansion.
