The special prosecutor investigating former US president Donald Trump’s attempts to reverse the results of the 2020 elections that Monday he asked the Supreme Court to decide on his presidential immunity.
Prosecutor Jack Smith today presented a document before the Supreme Court in which he asks the justices to intervene “as soon as possible” and decide whether a former president is “completely immune” from being charged with federal charges or not.
Trump appealed to court of appeals a decision by a lower-level judge who decided that he does not enjoy presidential immunity in the process he faces for interference in the 2020 elections, which gave victory to Joe Biden.
Smith decided to go directly to the Supreme Court to decide this case given the “public interest” that exists in the process a few months before the start of the electoral campaign, in which Trump seeks re-election.
On December 7, Trump’s legal team filed an appeal so that they are automatically suspended all the proceedings of the Washington court considering your case.
