Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers, who have repeatedly sought to delay his D.C. election subversion trial, on Wednesday asked the Supreme Court to hold off on reviewing special counsel Jack Smith’s appeal of Trump’s rejected immunity claim.
Trump’s lawyers appealed a ruling from U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan denying his claim that he has presidential immunity from prosecution in the election subversion case. But Smith, who has sought to maintain the pre-trial timeline to avoid a delay, asked the Supreme Court to take up the case, arguing it is "of imperative public importance" for the high court to decide on the question as quickly as possible.
