Former Manhattan prosecutor Jeremy Saland has weighed in on the recent appeal filed by former President Donald Trump to the Supreme Court. The appeal seeks to block the unanimous decision made by the D.C. Court last week. Saland assesses the chances of the appeal being accepted and the potential speed of the legal process.
The appeal filed is considered an emergency application asking the Supreme Court not to count the deadline set by the D.C. Circuit Court, which required either an appeal to the Supreme Court or a return to the lower court for further proceedings. Trump's camp requests a temporary pause in the case, keeping it from moving forward in the district court. However, Judge Chutkin of the district court has previously halted the case involving Jack Smith, recognizing the complexities surrounding the matter.
