Trump v. United States

There are essentially three outcomes on the table:

(1)Trumps claim is rejected, which could clear the way for a criminal trial on the charges, although whether that would be before the election is unclear;

(2)The court finds that Trump has complete immunity, and the federal case headed up by special counsel JACK SMITH is dead - dramatically expanding the scope of executive powers in the process; or

(3)The justices make a split decision, requiring Judge TANYA CHUTKAN to separate the actions Trump took in his official capacity as president from those he took as a political candidate - which would almost certainly push the case's start past the election.
