"Special Counsel Urges SCOTUS to Reject Trump's Immunity Claim"

The special counsel pursuing federal criminal charges against Donald Trump for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election loss urged the U.S. Supreme Court to reject Trump's bid for immunity from prosecution, arguing that no person is above the law. The case is set to be argued on April 25, with Trump appealing a lower court's rejection of his immunity request. The special counsel and a group of retired military officers and national security officials have backed the rejection of Trump's claim of immunity, while Trump and his allies continue to argue that a former president has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts.
