Trump seeks to have the Supreme Court intervene in the case against him for trying to overturn the 2020 election. Trump asked the justices to stay an appeals court ruling that rejected his broad argument for presidential immunity.
The stakes are high because if the High Court rejects Trump's request, the case would return to Washington-based Federal District Judge Tanya Chutkan, with the possibility of a trial before the November election. Despite the ideological makeup of the court, Trump has not fared well in recent cases.
