Trump Urges Supreme Court to Delay Intervention on Election Interference Immunity Issue

Lawyers for Donald Trump have urged the Supreme Court to delay deciding on whether the former president has broad immunity for actions he took challenging the 2020 presidential election result. The court filing was in response to a request from special counsel Jack Smith to quickly decide the issue, which is crucial in Trump's criminal prosecution for election interference. Trump's lawyers argued that there is no compelling reason for the Supreme Court to intervene immediately without waiting for the appeals court to act. The Supreme Court could decide within days whether to jump in now or wait for the lower court's decision.
