Trump Seeks Contempt Ruling Against Special Counsel in Election Interference Case

Lawyers for former President Donald J. Trump are seeking to have special counsel Jack Smith and two deputies held in contempt of court for allegedly violating a freeze on the criminal case related to accusations of Trump's involvement in subverting the 2020 election. The defense team is pushing for sanctions and a portion of Trump's legal fees to be paid, as the case awaits further review by a federal appeals court and potentially the Supreme Court. This development marks an intensification in the legal conflict surrounding the former president's claims of immunity from prosecution.

"Trump's Immunity Appeal Sparks Legal Debate and Scandalous Crime Speculations"

Former President Donald Trump's legal team has submitted their final written request to a federal appeals court, arguing for Trump's immunity in a case related to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. American Oversight, a nonprofit watchdog, filed an amicus brief opposing the appeal, arguing that the appellate court lacks jurisdiction. Trump's lawyers claim constitutional immunity for his actions while in office, a stance previously rejected by a district court. The case is currently on hold pending the appeal, with oral arguments scheduled for January 9. Trump's attorney declined to comment on the proceedings.
