Prosecutors asked the Supreme Court on Monday to decide whether former President Donald Trump can face criminal charges, in a move to keep a March trial date for allegations connected to Trump’s alleged effort to overturn the 2020 election.
Special Counsel John L. “Jack” Smith wrote in Monday’s filing that the court should shoot down one of Trump’s main defenses: that his status as president at the time of the alleged acts protects him from prosecution.
And the prosecutors asked the justices to consider the issue quickly to keep the trial from being delayed.
