The aftermath of Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election results is now heading to the Supreme Court, with two key cases set to be heard in the coming weeks. The first case involves Trump’s efforts to avoid prosecution for his actions in trying to undo his defeat, while the second case involves a man indicted in the Capitol attack who is seeking to escape a charge that Trump himself faces. These cases have taken on added significance as Trump gears up for a potential return to the White House in the 2024 election.
Meanwhile, Cuba has called on the US to ease sanctions and end special treatment for Cubans illegally entering the country ahead of high-level migration talks set to begin in Washington. The resumption of these talks comes after a surge of around half a million Cubans illegally entering the US in recent years, prompting calls for a change in US policy towards the island nation.
In other news, jury selection is underway in the historic criminal trial of Donald Trump, who is facing charges related to a hush money payment to a porn star. The trial, the first to involve a former US president, has drawn a crowd of onlookers to the courthouse in New York City, where Trump arrived in a motorcade from his Fifth Avenue skyscraper.
As these high-profile cases unfold, the eyes of the nation are on the Supreme Court, where key decisions will be made that could have far-reaching implications for the future of US politics and justice.
