 Trump asks Supreme Court to keep Jan. 6 trial on hold, citing 2024 election

Former President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to keep the January 6 trials on hold, citing potential implications for the 2024 presidential election. The move comes in response to lawsuits related to the Capitol riot, where Trump’s involvement is being scrutinized.

The Supreme Court is yet to decide on the matter, which may set a significant precedent for cases involving former presidents and potential future office
