Former military officials, governors and former members of Congress from both parties on Monday urged the Supreme Court to let former President Donald Trump face charges tied to his effort to overturn the 2020 election.
Trump’s effort to prevent a trial on the charges, based on his claims that the presidency makes him immune to federal prosecution, are heading before the justices at oral arguments on April 25.
Those backing the special counsel’s prosecution of Trump filed briefs as part of a Supreme Court case poised to shape this year’s presidential campaign, since the justices are expected to decide the issue by the conclusion of the term at the end of June.
