Special Counsel Asks Justices to Rule on Immunity

“Special counsel Jack Smith is urging the Supreme Court to urgently resolve Donald Trump’s claim that he’s immune from prosecution for charges related to his bid to subvert the 2020 election,” Politico reports.

“Without the Supreme Court’s swift intervention, Trump’s trial could be indefinitely delayed, the special counsel warned in court papers Monday.”

Washington Post: “The filing by the prosecutor seeks to essentially leapfrog past an appeals court process that could take months to resolve, slowing down the Justice Department’s push for a March trial of Trump, who is currently the frontrunner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.”
