I'm Mark Sherman. I cover the Supreme Court for The
Associated Press.
The Supreme Court says it will decide whether former President
Donald Trump can be criminally prosecuted on charges he interfered
with the 2020 election.
The court's action puts the trial of Trump on hold
pending the outcome of its case.
But the court suggested it will move quickly,
probably reaching a decision by late spring on whether Trump
is immune from criminal charges,
as he argues. Courts have so far ruled against him,
but the Supreme Court now will have the final word.
