Prosecutors Seek Denial of Trump's Election Case Freeze Request

Federal prosecutors have requested that the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's trial on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election deny his request to freeze the case as he appeals her recent ruling that he is not immune from prosecution. The prosecutors argue that the trial should proceed as scheduled, even as the appeal moves forward, and that the court should continue handling unresolved legal issues in the case. Trump's lawyers have sought to delay the trial until after the 2024 election, and winning the immunity appeal is just one part of their strategy. Prosecutors have pushed back against Trump's speculative and conspiratorial theories, including claims of election hacking and a deep state conspiracy.
