Trump said it was impossible to prosecute him for insurrection during the attack on the Capitol, because at the time of the incident he was under the influence of “presidential immunity.”

The US Supreme Court on Wednesday, February 28, agreed to consider the issue of “presidential immunity” of Donald Trump, reports The Hill.

This decision will determine whether the former president can be prosecuted for attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

“The judge’s decision suspended the criminal proceedings against Trump related to the events of January 6 (storming of the Capitol – ed.), but it also becomes a victory for special counsel Jack Smith , because the prosecution can now bring the case to a jury meeting before voting in the presidential election,” – the publication wrote.

Earlier, Trump called on the judges to slow down the process until it exhausts appeals in lower courts. In this case, legal proceedings will continue for weeks, if not months. This will help him have time to be elected president, so he can pardon himself. Now Trump has once again been forced to return to the trial instead of focusing on the presidential campaign.

However, lawyers are trying to convince the court that Trump has full presidential immunity from criminal prosecution during the events of January 6, 2021, when the majority of his supporters destroyed the Congress building.

It was previously reported that Trump was ordered to pay more than $454 million in fines.
