Trump's lawyers argue for historic SCOTUS hearing on immunity claims

Former President Donald Trump's legal team has responded to Special Counsel Jack Smith's request for the U.S. Supreme Court to hear Trump's immunity claims in the election interference criminal case against him. The Trump team urged the court not to rush and accept the issue before the lower courts have reviewed it, stating that the case presents "momentous, historic questions." Smith is expected to file a final rebuttal soon, urging the court to quickly accept the case. The Supreme Court will privately consider whether to review the case, which raises the question of whether a former president is immune from federal prosecution for crimes committed while in office.
