Smith submitted a filing to the Supreme Court on Monday ahead of oral arguments concerning Trump's presidential immunity claims.
Special Counsel Jack Smith urged the U.S. Supreme Court to reject Donald Trump's presidential immunity claims in a court filing on Monday, reiterating his stance that 'no person is above the law.'Smith is leading the federal prosecution of the former president, who's charged with unlawfully attempting to overturn his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
'Trump's lawyers wrote in their filing to the Supreme Court last month that the 'long history of not prosecuting Presidents for official acts, despite ample motive and opportunity to do so over the years, demonstrates that the newly discovered alleged power to do so does not exist.' The defense team also argued that only a president ''convicted' by the Senate after impeachment could be criminally prosecuted.
