The Supreme Court agreed to hear Trump's immunity claims around charges of election subversion.
Trump stands to benefit from SCOTUS hearing because it could delay his trial, legal experts say.
Special counsel Jack Smith's federal case against Trump cannot proceed until the Supreme Court makes its decision, which could take months.
AdvertisementKalir, who is pretty confident the court will not grant Trump immunity, said it largely comes down to how merit-less the legal argument in favor of absolute immunity is.
Krissoff added that the Supreme Court is likely to issue as narrow a ruling as possible.
