"Special Counsel Urges Swift Action from Supreme Court in Trump Immunity Case"

Special counsel Jack Smith urged the Supreme Court to reject former President Donald J. Trump's request to pause an appeals court ruling in the case regarding alleged criminal efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The court's decision on whether to pause the ruling will determine if trial proceedings can resume while the Supreme Court considers whether to hear a petition seeking review of the ruling itself. Any significant delays in the federal election-interference case could impact the 2024 campaign season or extend past the election.
