In the United States of America, the case against former President Donald Trump related to the events of January 6, 2021, when the Capitol was stormed, is again beginning to be considered. A new meeting is scheduled for August 16. This was reported by Reuters with reference to court materials.
Hearings in the case were suspended last December to determine whether Trump has immunity from prosecution, which could shield him from some charges. During that time, the justices considered legal arguments regarding the legal status of the former president's actions.
The upcoming hearing will be a key step in the case, as the court must decide which charges against Donald Trump may be the subject of further trial. In particular, it will discuss which of the charges relate to Trump's official actions as president and which should be dismissed in accordance with the Supreme Court's decisions.
The storming of the Capitol became one of the most high-profile political events in modern US history. Hundreds of Trump supporters stormed the Congress building, trying to disrupt the process of confirming the results of the presidential election, which was won by Joe Biden. As a result of these events, several people were killed, dozens were arrested, and significant damage was caused to the historical building.
