Top US court will rule on Trump immunity claims

The Supreme Court of the United States has announced that it will rule on President Donald Trump’s claims of immunity from criminal investigation. This decision comes as a result of a long-running legal battle over whether a sitting president can be prosecuted while in office.

The case centers around a subpoena issued by a New York prosecutor seeking Trump’s tax returns and other financial records. Trump’s legal team has argued that the president is immune from criminal investigation while in office, citing the separation of powers and the potential for distraction from his duties.

Legal experts have pointed out that previous presidents, including Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton, have been subject to criminal investigations while in office. The Supreme Court’s ruling on this matter could have far-reaching implications for the future of presidential immunity and the rule of law in the United States.
