Special counsel Jack Smith recently made a compelling argument before the Supreme Court, urging them 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 emphasized that Trump's stance lacks any constitutional basis, historical precedent, or public perception that presidents are exempt from legal accountability. He pointed out that even if the court acknowledges some level of immunity for former presidents, certain actions by Trump could be considered private conduct rather than official acts, making them subject to prosecution.
