If the appeals court decides in Mr. Trump's favor, Jack Smith, the special counsel leading the prosecution, will almost certainly challenge the loss in front of the Supreme Court, assuming the justices agreed to hear it.
The Supreme Court had a chance last month to hear the case itself after Mr. Smith took the unusual step of asking the justices to leapfrog ahead of the appeals court. But even though they declined his request, it is likely they will have another shot.
