"Unveiling Jack Smith's Potential Game-Changer Against Trump at the Supreme Court"

Special counsel Jack Smith, following the playbook of Watergate special prosecutor Leon Jaworski, has petitioned the Supreme Court to resolve the question of whether a president can be immune from criminal prosecution for crimes committed while in office. Smith seeks a prompt resolution as the trial is scheduled to start on March 4, 2024. Michael Dreeben, a former Justice Department official and counsel of record in this case, is seen as a secret weapon due to his extensive experience arguing before the Supreme Court. The outcome of this appeal could have implications for Trump's ongoing legal battles. Additionally, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case involving January 6 defendants, which overlaps with charges against Trump.
