Supreme Court to Decide if Trump Has Immunity from Prosecution, Special Counsel Steps In

This marks the first instance in which the high court will consider the prosecution of a former president.

He is seeking the Supreme Court's swift decision on a key issue in the case against Trump, bypassing the usual route through a federal appeals court.
