"Special Counsel Urges SCOTUS to Reject Trump's Election Case Delay Request"

Special counsel Jack Smith has urged the U.S. Supreme Court to reject Donald Trump's request to delay his 2020 election interference case from going to trial. Trump's legal team argues that he is immune from prosecution for acts during his presidency, but lower courts have rejected this. The case has been described as having "unique national importance," and prosecutors warn that delaying the resolution of the charges could frustrate the public interest. If the court decides to hear the case, Smith suggests arguments in March and a final ruling by late June.
