Donald Trump has spent a considerable chunk of his time in courtrooms recently.

He sat through a weeks-long hush-money criminal trial, two separate civil trials brought by writer E Jean Carroll, and a $464m civil fraud trial.

He lost all of these cases and has appealed against the verdicts, but they showed us a little bit about likely legal tactics for his upcoming battles.

Trump’s team pushed to delay legal proceedings at any possible point. If a door is slightly ajar for a legal challenge, his lawyers have tried to swing it wide open with appeals and paperwork.

The goal appears to be to slow things down as much as possible ahead of the November election.

The strategy has left start dates up in the air for his state case in Georgia, and his federal cases in Florida and Washington DC.

The Supreme Court taking on some of Trump’s legal issues has also been a factor, leaving some of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s cases stuck in limbo.

We're also expecting an opinion in another closely watched case that is about social media companies, states, and free speech.

Florida and Texas passed laws following the Capitol riot of January 2021 that limited tech firms' ability to remove political content, saying the companies were censoring conservative viewpoints and violating users' First Amendment right to free speech.

But tech giants said the laws violated their rights to free speech, which included the freedom of private companies to decide what content to publish on their platforms.

They also argued they could be forced to carry all sorts of objectionable content, including antisemitic and pro-suicide posts, if the Republican-backed laws were allowed to stand.

We have our first decision, but it's not the Trump immunity case.

It's about the Administrative Procedure Act, and you can read the full decision here, external.

Stick with us.

The Supreme Court starts to announce its decisions at 10:00 EDT (15:00 BST).

We're expecting three opinions today, one of which is if Donald Trump has any form of presidential immunity.

Stick with us, we will bring you the justices' opinions as soon as we have them.

I’m inside the courthouse now, and things are starting to get a little more exciting. Reporters are starting to trickle into the immaculately clean press room, which has courtroom sketches of Supreme Court sessions on the wall alongside photographs of the building’s various architectural features.

While reporters are able to set up laptops and devices in this room, everything changes when we step into the actual courtroom in about an hour’s time.

There are no devices, of any kind, allowed in there. When I stepped in, I was repeatedly told that I would need to leave everything down here, including smart watches. It’s strictly old-school pen and paper up in the room.

Since cameras are also not allowed, the work of capturing the scenes inside falls to courtroom sketch artists like the man sitting a few feet to my right, Bill Hennessy.

For decades, he’s been a fixture at high-profile trials across the US, including Donald Trump’s hush-money trial in New York City and the initial hearing for his classified documents case in Florida. Just a few weeks ago, I sat in the row behind him at Hunter Biden’s federal gun charges trial in Delaware.

Personally, I'm surprised by the lack of protesters here at the Supreme Court ahead of today's decision.

This is, after all, a highly contentious and politically relevant case.

There are none, at least at the moment. Besides the several dozen members of the public and throngs of reporters, the only people here early were a woman and a man, filming a SCOTUS-themed music video of some kind.

The song has religious overtones, and appears to be imploring the justices of the court to do what they can to "bring God back into the classroom" and address various social ills in American society.

I arrived at the Supreme Court early this morning - at around 6am local time - just in case things were hectic ahead of today's historic ruling in the Trump immunity case.

The scene here, however, has been calm. In front of the Supreme Court, a handful of reporters and camera crews are busy doing live shots on US TV.

On the street just east of the courthouse, with the US Capitol clearly visible, several dozen members of the public are standing in line, waiting for access into the court room.

A little later, they will be issued tickets to be seated in the courtroom.

The vast majority are young law students, mostly in DC for internships and work experience with firms in the city during their summer break. Several I've spoken to this morning told me that their jobs encouraged them to come today to get a better understanding of how the court works.

"This is really a meaningful decision. It's a big one," one of the aspiring attorneys told me. "I'm pumped."

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the US Supreme Court.

The court is expected to rule on multiple cases today, including whether former President Donald Trump is open to criminal prosecution for actions taken while in the White House.

The court has said this will be its final day to issue opinions for this term.
