US top court not to speed up Trump immunity clash

The US Supreme Court refused to immediately decide on Trump's immunity from prosecution for seeking to overturn the 2020 election loss. The court's action allows a federal appeals court to review Trump's appeal of the ruling rejecting his claim of immunity. The trial judge has put the case on pause until the immunity issue is resolved. The rebuff of Special Counsel Jack Smith leaves questions about Trump's legal fate open as the 2024 election primary begins.
