U.S. Supreme Court

Jul. 9, 2024

Two cases, two shifts in power (Trump v. U.S.)

The remand trial will have to decide what were Trump’s unofficial acts and whether they constituted a crime or crimes. The case may not conclude before the next presidential inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025. If Trump is elected again, the case is over.
