TL;DR

Special counsel Jack Smith's team is urging the Supreme Court to reject former President Donald Trump's claim of immunity from prosecution in a case alleging he schemed to overturn the 2020 election results. The prosecutors argue that a president's alleged criminal scheme to overturn an election and thwart the peaceful transfer of power frustrates core constitutional provisions protecting democracy. The outcome of the upcoming Supreme Court arguments will likely determine whether Trump faces trial this year in a four-count indictment.
