Trump lost in court, but it’s not all bad news for him.
The court said he can be prosecuted for things he did while president, but the decision took so long that it delays his trial about the Capitol attack indefinitely.
This delay helps Trump, who wants to push the trial past the next election. His team might try to delay more by asking a higher court to review the case. If that doesn’t work, they might go to the Supreme Court, which could delay things further.
Experts don’t think Trump’s legal arguments will succeed, but even if he loses, the delay still helps him. If he wins the election, he could make the case disappear.
It’s a strange turn of events, considering Trump’s term started with chaos at the Capitol, and it might end with him getting off the hook.
