The special counsel prosecuting Donald Trump in the criminal case over the 2020 election asked the Supreme Court to hear an appeal on whether Trump is protected by presidential immunity.
Special counsel Jack Smith said that Trump’s scheduled March trial date in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. cannot occur while an appeal on that is pending.
Trump is charged in the three other pending criminal cases.
He is the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
(COMBO) This combination of pictures created on August 5, 2023 shows special counsel Jack Smith in Washington, DC, on August 1, 2023 and former US President Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida, on November 8, 2022. Donald Trump pushed back on August 7 against a bid by government lawyers to restrict what he can share publicly about his historic prosecution for allegedly conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
