The Supreme Court heard arguments over Trump\u2019s claims of absolute presidential immunity in the case on May 25, and the trial isn\u2019t expected to have a date until they have decided on the case. The high court signaled the trial would not happen until after the election. <\/p>\n<p>During the hearing, Justice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Samuel-Alito\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Samuel Alito<\/a> questioned the implications of prosecuting a president for actions taken while in office, saying, \u201cIf an incumbent who loses a very close, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/abbott-announces-special-legislative-session-setting-up-second-try-at-adopting-election-reforms\/\" title=\"Abbott Announces Special Legislative Session, Setting Up Second Try At Adopting Election Reforms\">hotly contested election<\/a> knows that a real possibility after leaving office is not that the president is going to be able to go off into a peaceful retirement but that the president may be criminally prosecuted by a bitter political opponent, will that not lead us into a cycle that destabilizes the functioning of our country as a democracy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alito has also faced calls from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Democrats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Democrats<\/a> to recuse himself from this case and others related to Trump and Jan. 6, 2021, after it came out that his wife flew a flag upside down after the riots, a symbol used by Trump supporters. He has rejected those calls.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is facing two felony counts (including one conspiracy count) of obstructing an official proceeding, and one felony count of conspiracy to defraud the United States, one felony count of conspiracy against rights in the case. This case appears to be the closest to moving forward.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Georgia election interference case<\/strong>: Appeal against some charges dropped<\/h3>\n<p>Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis brought a myriad of charges against Trump and 18 other defendants, including his lawyers John Eastman and Rudy Giuliani, for their efforts to overturn Trump\u2019s 2020 election loss in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Georgia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Georgia<\/a>. Two high-profile incidents included in the case are when Trump called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and urged him to \u201cfind\u201d votes that would secure him a win in the state, and when Giuliani called on state legislators to convene a special session to overturn the certification of election results.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was initially charged with 13 state felony counts, which he pleaded not guilty to. Judge Scott McAfee threw out three of the charges against Trump, and three others against others named in the case as well, in March. Willis appealed McAfee\u2019s decision on May 23 in a move that will likely further delay the trial.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn some ways it\u2019s an implicit concession that it\u2019s not going to happen before November,\u201d Anthony Michael Kreis, a law professor at Georgia State University, told the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/05\/23\/us\/fani-willis-trump-georgia-appeal.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>New York Times<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Classified documents case<\/strong>: Postponed indefinitely<\/h3>\n<p>The slowest-moving of Trump\u2019s three remaining cases, which was brought by Smith who alleged Trump held onto sensitive documents after leaving the White House.
