The efforts relied on a catch-and-kill scheme prosecutors allege amounted to interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. At the same time, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Thursday in a different criminal matter involving Trump, who has claimed that he should be immune from prosecution over his efforts to reverse his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden.
