US Supreme Court has accepted the appeal of former US President Donald Trump on the question of the ex-president's immunity from prosecution. This will now examine whether Trump is immune from criminal prosecution for attempting to overturn the result of the 2020 US election.
Trump's trial in Washington, DC is on hold while the Supreme Court considers his immunity claim. Trump, who is running for president again in the 2022 US election, will likely not face trial until the summer at the earliest, if at all.
