"Special Counsel Jack Smith Challenges Trump's Immunity Claim in Supreme Court"

Special counsel Jack Smith urged the Supreme Court to reject Donald Trump’s claims of immunity, arguing that the former president's position has no grounding in the Constitution or history. Smith asserted that at least some of Trump’s actions were private conduct and could be prosecuted, and pushed back on Trump's argument that future presidents would be vulnerable to blackmail and extortion without immunity. The Supreme Court will hear arguments on April 25, and a decision is expected by July.
