SCOTUS Sets Oral Argument Date In Trump J6 Immunity Case

The US Supreme Court in Washington, DC, on February 28, 2024. The US Supreme Court on Wednesday will hear arguments on the legality of "bump stocks," simple devices that can allow automatic fire from otherwise semi-automatic guns. The case stems from the worst mass shooting in US history, in October 2017, when a man, using guns equipped with bump stocks, fired on a crowd attending an outdoor music concert in Las Vegas, killing 58 people and wounding around 500.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court set April 25th as the starting date. During the discussion, the justices will listen to prosecutors’ arguments “as to why Trump’s claim of immunity is invalid.”

The indictment papers filed by Smith on August 1st accused the 45th president and his allies of attempting to “exploit the violence and chaos” by allegedly requesting that legislators postpone the certification of Joe Biden’s election win on January 6th, 2021.

The original trial date for Smith’s case was set for March.

This announcement comes after the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Trump can remain on the presidential primary ballots in the state of Colorado.
