Special counsel Jack Smith on Thursday reiterated his request for the Supreme Court to immediately decide whether Donald Trump has presidential immunity from alleged crimes he committed while in office. “The public interest in a prompt resolution of this case favors an immediate, definitive decision by this Court. The high court is currently considering whether to decide the immunity dispute before a federal appeals court weighs in. Trump on Wednesday urged the court to not skip over the appeals court. Smith’s move to have the high court intervene is an attempt to cut short Trump’s approach.
