Trump's lawyers request Supreme Court to stay out of immunity dispute and election case

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to refrain from getting involved in the dispute over whether he can be prosecuted for his alleged involvement in plotting to overturn the 2020 election results. Trump's legal team argues that the matter should be left to a lower appeals court in Washington, which is already considering the same question. They also claim that a quick ruling from the Supreme Court could be politically motivated and interfere with Trump's presidential campaign. Trump is facing multiple criminal cases and felony counts as he seeks to run for president again in 2024.
