A U.S. Supreme Court shaped by Donald Trump is destined to play a pivotal role in determining whether he will land in prison ¡ª or return to the White House.
Trump vowed to seek Supreme Court review after Colorado¡¯s top court on Tuesday barred him from the 2024 presidential ballot there, saying his incitement of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol disqualifies him from holding office. The 4-3 decision said that under the Constitution¡¯s insurrection clause, he had forfeited his right to run.
And the high court could say this week whether it will take up Special Counsel Jack Smith¡¯s request for fast-track review of the former president¡¯s bid for absolute immunity from criminal charges over his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.
