President-elect Donald Trump won a court order halting a lawsuit against him by the co-founders of his social media platform so a Delaware judge can weigh whether presidential immunity applies to the case.
Delaware Chancery Court Judge Morgan Zurn on Tuesday agreed to put the case on hold for at least three months. Zurn said she will consider Trump’s bid for immunity for himself and board members of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., which oversees the Truth Social platform. The board members include Trump’s nominee to head the FBI, Kash Patel, and ex-Republican Congressman Devin Nunes. Trump is the company’s largest shareholder.
