"Trump Seeks Supreme Court Intervention in Immunity Cases"

Former President Trump is asking the Supreme Court to extend the delay in the trial stemming from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s 2020 election interference case, claiming presidential immunity. Trump's legal team argues that without immunity from criminal prosecution, the presidency as we know it will cease to exist, and that such prosecutions will become increasingly common, ushering in destructive cycles of recrimination. The request for temporary relief aims to give the Trump legal team more time to file an appeal to the Supreme Court on the merits of whether a former president deserves immunity from criminal prosecution for actions while in office.
