"Special Counsel Challenges Trump's Immunity Claim in Supreme Court"

The special counsel pursuing federal criminal charges against Donald Trump for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election urged the US Supreme Court to reject Trump's bid for immunity, 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 argue that Trump's claim of immunity is contrary to democratic principles and could jeopardize national security. Trump faces four federal criminal counts related to election subversion, and his immunity claim has been rejected by lower courts.
