"Jack Smith Counters Trump's Immunity Claim with His Own Past Arguments, Legal Experts Anticipate Swift Defeat"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Yahoo! Voices
Legal experts suggest that Donald Trump's presidential immunity defense in his election interference case is likely to fail. Former Trump White House lawyer Jim Schultz predicts the D.C. Circuit Court will swiftly reject the immunity claim. Special Counsel Jack Smith's recent filing argues against the notion of "absolute immunity" for presidents, stating it would allow them to commit crimes to stay in office, which is contrary to the Founders' intentions. The Supreme Court has already declined an expedited ruling on the matter, and legal analysts believe Smith's filing is a strategic move to expedite the case and counter Trump's delay tactics.
