The decision may make it more likely that Lasso will dissolve the assembly and call early elections for both his post and legislators' seats.Fifty-nine opposition lawmakersthe hearings in mid-March, accusing Lasso of involvement with embezzlement and bribery, which he has always denied.
The court on Wednesday decided to allow a hearing on embezzlement accusations to proceed but ruled against letting two other accusations relating to alleged abuse of power to move forward. The court's approval enables the assembly to hold the hearings but does not constitute a backing of the claims by judges.
"This court exhorts the institutions involved in the impeachment proceedings to always act within the rights provided by the constitution and the rule of law," the court said in a statement.
