Legal analyst Elie Honig has indicated that Donald Trump's legal team is likely to oppose the new filing by special counsel Jack Smith in the 2020 election subversion case. The team is expected to rely on their previous argument that the former president is immune from prosecution, potentially delaying any trial until after 2024.
Honig, a former federal prosecutor, explained that Trump's team will argue that the alleged conduct is related to his role as president and therefore constitutes official acts, making him immune based on a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
