The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Wednesday to hear the question of whether Donald Trump has immunity from criminal prosecution, and specifically, whether he can evade charges lodged against him tied to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

The brief order from the conservative-majority court stated simply that it would hear oral arguments on April 22, meaning the trial in Washington, D.C., could be thrown off track until after the 2024 election if the high court takes its time to resolve the matter.

Specifically, the order states the justices will answer “whether and if so to what extent does a former president enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office?”
