Defeat for Trump: Judge rejects immunity test – because Republicans missed a deadline. Judge clears the way for Trump's hush money trial involving erotica star Stormy Daniels.
Trump had asked the judge to delay the trial until the Supreme Court rules on whether he is immune from prosecution for official actions he took while president. The Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments on the issue this month but may not rule until June. In Florida, where Trump is accused of mishandling classified documents, a Trump-appointed judge has not yet set a final trial date. In Georgia, a special prosecutor is accusing the ex-president of trying to rig the 2024 election.
