Supreme Court's timing is 'politically not helpful' for Trump': George Conway

During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Weekend," conservative attorney George Conway argued that Donald Trump would be better off if the Supreme Court rushed out a decision on the question of his presidential immunity as quickly as possible.

Speaking with the hosts and predicting a ruling against the former president would likely be issued in June, Conway said that the Jan. 6 trial to be conducted by Judge Tanya Chutkan would proceed at the schedule she has proposed would place it right before the election to the former president's detriment.

According to Conway, one need only look at the calendar to see a trial over Trump's part in the Jan. 6 insurrection being in full swing in October.

"Politically it's not helpful for Donald Trump," he began. "Sometimes in litigation you lose by getting what you asked for. What he has asked for in the January 6th case is delay, delay, but he may not get enough delay."

''I mean, the Supreme Court took this case and, probably not to delay the case, but they probably think they have something to add to the law in this area. And there are multiple motions that Donald Trump has been making both in Georgia and Florida that may be, you know, the guidance could be helpful to the Supreme Court."

"But the end result would be, we are going to get a decision, the case is still expedited, the appeal to the Supreme Court is still expedited," he added. "We will get a decision by the end of June, maybe even earlier. If that is true, you do the math: you get a trial in August, September, October and that is not a good thing for Donald Trump. It would be better to get it over, with frankly, even with a conviction."
