Special counsel Jack Smith has urged the Supreme Court to dismiss Donald Trump's assertions of broad immunity and to proceed with a trial on charges related to his alleged attempts to undermine the 2020 election results. Smith argued that Trump's stance lacks constitutional basis and historical precedent, emphasizing that former presidents are not above the law.
Smith's filing, considered a pivotal moment in the ongoing legal battle, challenges Trump's claim of immunity and asserts that some of Trump's actions were private in nature and not protected under official acts.
