Trump asks Supreme Court to reject special counsel and stay out of immunity dispute for now
Jaksokuvaus
Former President Trump has asked the Supreme Court to reject special counsel Jack Smith's request to have the high court decide whether he has any immunity from federal prosecution for alleged crimes he committed while he was in the White House. The question of Trump's immunity has to be decided before the trial, which is scheduled for March 4th. Smith asked the justices to review a lower court ruling that the former president is not immune from the election subversion criminal case, a rare step of reviewing the issue before a federal appeals court weighs in. CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig tells AC360 if he thinks the Trump team would be trying to slow down the process if he wasn't running for reelection. Plus, CNN Senior International Correspondent Fred Pleitgen joins AC360 from Iceland for an update on the volcano erupting on the Reykjanes peninsula. Learn more about your ad choices.
