The case, Trump v. United States, set to be heard on the final day of the court's argument calendar, will determine whether and how quickly Trump faces trial in Washington, D.C., for allegedly trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Trump's legal team argues that his actions were under presidential authority, granting him immunity, while prosecutors claim no individual should be above the law.
The case raises unresolved questions on whether a former President is immune from prosecution for actions during their term, challenging traditional Justice Department policies.
Legal experts highlight the absence of a clear barrier for prosecuting former Presidents and the general assumption that ex-Presidents could be subject to prosecution.
