The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Thursday regarding Former President Donald Trump's claim to immunity from prosecution in his election interference case. Trump, facing criminal charges for allegedly plotting to overturn the 2020 election results, claims "absolute immunity" as a president. Key issues include what constitutes an "official act" and whether a president can be prosecuted. A ruling for Trump would likely doom the case. A ruling limiting immunity could still allow the trial to move forward.
