"Legal Experts: Jack Smith Uses Trump's Own Argument Against Him"

Special counsel Jack Smith has asked the Supreme Court to reject former President Donald Trump's immunity claim and allow the prosecution to proceed in the D.C. election subversion case. Smith's team argued that Trump's alleged criminal scheme to overturn an election should not grant him immunity from federal criminal law, and pushed back on Trump's claim that a former president cannot be prosecuted without impeachment and conviction. Legal experts say Smith effectively used Trump's own arguments against him, emphasizing the public interest in a speedy trial and the gravity of the accusations against Trump.
