"Trump Requests Trial Delay for Supreme Court Immunity Appeal"

Donald Trump's lawyers have asked the US Supreme Court to delay his criminal trial, citing an upcoming case that could affect the charges against him. The case involves a defendant from the Jan. 6 Capitol attack and the question of obstructing an official proceeding. Special Counsel Jack Smith has urged the court to reject Trump's request for further delay, emphasizing the public interest in a prompt trial for a former president charged with conspiring to subvert the electoral process. Trump's attorneys argue that the trial should not proceed until his immunity dispute is resolved, alleging political motivation behind the case.
