Trump's Legal Team Fights Rushed Election Case, Appeals for Pause in Proceedings

Lawyers for Donald Trump argue that federal prosecutors are attempting to rush his 2020 election subversion case before the next presidential election, accusing them of interfering with the 2024 election and disenfranchising his supporters. Trump's defense team opposes the fast-tracking of the immunity question and requests full and thoughtful consideration of the case's constitutional significance. Special counsel Jack Smith seeks to keep the cases on track while Trump attempts to delay proceedings. The Supreme Court has been asked to take up the issue, and a decision is expected soon. Trump faces multiple criminal prosecutions in different cities.
