Good evening everyone. We begin tonight with the breaking news from the

Supreme Court. The 63 conservative majority has decided to hear the case of

Trump versus the United States on whether Donald Trump can

claim presidential immunity over his criminal election interference charges.

Now I will remind you the court could have just

affirmed the US District Court's ruling that no a president does not have

absolute immunity but that was not the decision tonight.

And while hearing the case does not mean that ultimately they will rule in Trump's favor.

The highest court in the land just gave Trump something that he has been aggressively fighting for, time.

The oral arguments in the case have been set for the week of April 22nd,

nearly two months from now.

Why so much time?

Mm-hmm.

And after that, even in a best-case scenario,

it will be a few weeks before a decision comes down.

That is the best case, considering we know that there are at least some of the Supreme Court justices who don't agree with the earlier rulings.

Otherwise, they would not be hearing the case.

And if the court does decide to affirm the earlier ruling,

as they should, and hand the case back to District Court Judge Tanya Chutkin,

she would need a few months to get the case back on track and reach a trial.

And that would take us through the summer and easily past July when the Republican National

Convention is scheduled, when Donald Trump is expected to become the party's nominee.
