"Special Counsel Urges Supreme Court to Settle Trump's Immunity from Prosecution"

Special counsel Jack Smith has asked the Supreme Court to determine whether former President Donald Trump has immunity from criminal prosecution for alleged crimes committed while in office. This is the first time the high court will weigh in on the prosecution of a former president. Smith's team is seeking an expedited decision to keep the election subversion trial on track, requesting the court to review a district judge's ruling that Trump is not immune from prosecution. The court is also asked to decide if Trump is protected by double jeopardy. Prosecutors argue that no person, including a former president, is above the law.
