Defeat for Trump: Judge rejects immunity test – because Republicans missed a deadline. Judge clears the way for the 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 he was president. The Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments on the issue this month but may not rule until June. If Trump manages to delay proceedings until Election Day and wins the presidency, they would likely come to a standstill.
