Trump Urges Supreme Court to Reject Fast-Tracking Immunity Dispute

Former President Donald Trump has urged the Supreme Court to reject a request from special counsel Jack Smith to fast-track the consideration of Trump's claims of presidential immunity from criminal prosecution. Trump's legal team argued that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit should address Trump's appeal first, as the question of immunity is complex and momentous. The Supreme Court is currently weighing Smith's request to bypass the appeals court and quickly decide whether Trump is fully shielded from criminal prosecution for charges related to his alleged attempt to overturn the 2020 election results.
