Supreme Court to decide if Trump is prosecuted in election case

The court's decision indicated that justices plan to move quickly on a potential opinion and said they would hear arguments in April.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to decide whether former President Donald Trump can be prosecuted on charges he interfered with the 2020 election and set a course for a quick resolution.

The justices' order maintains a hold on preparations for a trial focused on Trump’s efforts to overturn his election loss. 

At the same time, they said they would hear arguments in late April, with a decision likely no later than the end of June.
