The former president of USA and presumptive Republican candidate for the White House, donald trumpcelebrated this Wednesday that the Supreme Court agreed to debate the case regarding his immunity, which makes it very difficult for him to be judged by the assault on the Capitol before the November elections.

The Supreme Court accepted the case in response to an appeal filed by Trump on February 12 of a lower court ruling that found the former president did not enjoy presidential immunity.
“Legal experts and academics have asserted that the president should have full presidential immunity. A president must have the freedom to make appropriate decisions. Your mind must be clear and you must not be guided by fear of retaliation!Trump said.

Even if the judges end up ruling against him, the schedule will be too tight for the trial to begin before the November elections, the real goal of Trump’s defense.
An eventual victory for Trump at the polls over the current president, Joe Bidenwould place him as chief executive and give him the authority to order his attorney general to dismiss federal charges against him.
Washington’s case is one of four criminal charges the former president faces.
