Supreme Court Sets Deadline for Response in Trump's Immunity Case

The U.S. Supreme Court has given Special Counsel Jack Smith a one-week deadline to respond to former President Trump's request to delay his 2020 election interference trial. Trump's legal team filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court seeking temporary relief to block the appeals court mandate that found Trump not immune from prosecution. Chief Justice John Roberts instructed Smith to reply by Feb. 20, 2024, and the court could either grant Trump's request for a stay, expedite the case, or reject the request and send the case back to the lower court for a new trial date.

"Supreme Court's Potential Impact on Trump's Immunity"

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts may play a pivotal role in determining whether Donald Trump's election interference trial proceeds, as Trump seeks a stay in the trial following a D.C. appeals court's rejection of his claim of presidential immunity. The appeals panel has given Trump until February 12 to ask the Supreme Court to get involved, and if Roberts supports a stay, the case may be put on hold. Trump is accused of illegally interfering in the 2020 presidential election, including encouraging the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, and his real agenda is seen as delaying the trial until after the election.

Trump Requests Live TV Coverage for Federal Election Interference Trial

Former President Donald Trump is requesting live television coverage of his 2020 election interference trial in Washington, arguing that it would allow the public to witness the truth and expose what he believes to be a politically motivated prosecution. A coalition of news companies has also requested to record the trial, citing the importance of securing public confidence. However, the Department of Justice opposes the request, stating that the trial being open to the public and media satisfies the constitutional right of access. They also argue that in-court cameras could impact the truth-finding function of the court and potentially subject witnesses to threats and harassment. Trump is charged with four counts related to conspiracy and obstruction in connection with his claims of election fraud, which allegedly inspired the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.
