Former President Donald Trump's legal battle over the 2020 election continues as his attorneys ask an appeals court to dismiss the election subversion case against him. This comes after the Supreme Court rejected a bid by special counsel Jack Smith to fast-track hearings on Trump's claim of presidential immunity.
The Supreme Court's decision garnered support from both Democrat and Republican justices, who saw through what critics argue was a partisan ploy by Jack Smith to keep Trump out of the White House. Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe called Smith's pursuit of swift justice 'nakedly partisan and overtly political.'
