Justice Alito Steps Aside from Trump Case

Justice Alito skipped a Trump case. The Supreme Court dismissed it. The reason is unknown.

More details:

### Simple Version

Justice Alito decided not to be part of a court case about Donald Trump. The Supreme Court said "no" to hearing the case. They didn't say why Justice Alito stepped out. The person suing Trump made some unusual claims.

### How Fox Would Spin It

"Deep State Justice Caught! Alito SHUNNED Trump Case Amidst Witch Hunt! The Swamp Tries to Silence Patriots! Will Alito Be Next Target?"

### DeFoxed Reality Check

Justice Alito did not participate in a specific, very minor case where a person sued Donald Trump with wild accusations, including claims of helping Trump avoid impeachment. The Supreme Court **dismissed the case** without hearing it. The court **did not give a reason** for Alito's recusal. This is **different** from other, more important Trump cases he *is* involved in. It's like skipping one small party when you're still invited to the main event. *It's not that deep, folks.*

### Why This Matters

This shows the Supreme Court has rules about judges not hearing cases they might be biased in. Even though the reason isn't public, it's important for fairness. We'll see if Alito recuses himself from bigger, more serious Trump cases later.
