Supreme Court Orders Trump to Respond to Jack Smith

“The U.S. Supreme Court moved at lightning speed on Monday in response to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request for the justices to get involved in its federal criminal case against Donald Trump,” The Messenger reports.

“By Dec. 20, lawyers for the former president must respond in writing to the motion from Smith seeking to get the Supreme Court engaged on the question of whether Trump can even be charged for actions he took within the ‘outer perimeter’ of his official duties as president.”
