00:00 It's Benzinga and here's what's on the block.
00:02 Donald Trump formally asked the US Supreme Court to pause a recent appeals court ruling
00:06 that rejected his claims of presidential immunity for his actions leading up to January 6, 2021.
00:11 The Supreme Court will likely ask the special counsel prosecutor Jack Smith to file a response
00:15 to Trump's request. The court could decide to schedule oral arguments and issue a detailed
00:20 ruling on Trump's immunity claim, which would delay the trial process further. The court could
00:23 grant Trump's request for a pause without arguments, putting the case on hold until his
00:27 appeal is resolved, which could take months. The court could also reject the request, sending the
00:32 case back to the trial judge. Some experts say the court may want to directly rule against Trump's
00:37 claim rather than let proceedings continue being delayed. For all things money, visit Benzinga.com.
