Special Counsel Urges Supreme Court for Swift Ruling on Trump's Prosecution Immunity
TL;DR Summary
Special counsel Jack Smith has asked the Supreme Court to quickly rule on whether former President Donald Trump can be prosecuted for charges related to his alleged plot to overturn the 2020 election results. Smith is seeking to bypass the appeals court and have the Supreme Court take up the matter directly. The court has ordered Trump's lawyers to respond by December 20. The case raises the question of whether ex-presidents enjoy immunity from prosecution, and if the court agrees to hear the case, it would be the first time they rule on this issue.
