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

TL;DR Summary
Special counsel Jack Smith urged the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the 2020 election interference case against former President Donald Trump to proceed to trial without further delay, as Trump's team seeks a pause in the case to consider his immunity from prosecution for official acts in the White House. Prosecutors argue that the case has unique national importance and should not be further delayed, while Trump's lawyers claim he is shielded from prosecution for acts within his official duties as president. The Supreme Court's decision on whether to take up the immunity issue could determine the trial's timeline.
