"Special Counsel Jack Smith Urges SCOTUS to Reject Trump's Immunity Claim in Election Case"

Special counsel Jack Smith urged the Supreme Court to reject former President Donald Trump’s immunity claim in the federal 2020 election interference case, arguing that it goes against the principle that no one is above the law. Smith refuted Trump’s assertion of immunity from criminal prosecution, stating that the Framers never endorsed criminal immunity for a former President. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Trump’s immunity bid later this month, and if ruled in his favor, the federal charges against him could be dismissed.
