Trump Trials: Supreme Court and Appeals Court Await Filings in D.C. Case, Smerconish Uncovers Jack Smith's Silence on Trump, and the Lingering Question of Presidential Immunity: Hunter Biden's Connection

The focus this week in the Trump Trials will be on the appeals process as Donald Trump's legal team attempts to convince a federal appeals court and the Supreme Court that presidential immunity protects him from criminal prosecution in the D.C. election-obstruction case. Trump's lawyers have until Wednesday to respond to the Supreme Court's request to take up the immunity question on an unusually fast timeline, while also having until Saturday to ask a panel of judges at the U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C. to overturn a lower court's ruling on immunity. Last week, Judge Tanya S. Chutkan froze upcoming deadlines in the pretrial process as Trump appeals her ruling that, as a former president, he is not immune from prosecution in this case.
