Trump's Legal Battles: A Supreme Court Showdown Looms

Donald Trump's recent victories at the U.S. Supreme Court may not be his last, as seven major legal cases involving him could reach the high court. These include federal and state criminal charges and civil lawsuits. The outcome of the 2024 election could significantly impact these cases.

Donald Trump recently secured victories in three major Supreme Court cases, but more legal challenges are on the horizon. Seven cases, currently in lower courts, could eventually be appealed to the high court. These cases include federal and state criminal charges as well as civil lawsuits against the former president.

The pending legal battles could be influenced by the outcome of the 2024 election. If Trump wins, he might attempt to pardon himself or have the Justice Department drop federal cases. However, state charges and civil cases would continue, potentially reaching the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court's previous rulings have granted former presidents some immunity, but Trump's pending cases hinge on how this immunity is interpreted. Legal experts anticipate that the high court may revisit the scope of presidential immunity if Trump's cases progress through the legal system.
