The special prosecutor, who is bringing charges against Donald Trump for attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, urged judges to reject the former president's motion for judicial immunity. This is reported by UNN with reference to Reuters.

Details

Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is bringing federal criminal charges against Donald Trump for his attempts to undo his loss in the 2020 election, has filed a petition with the US Supreme Court urging the justices to reject the former president's request for immunity from prosecution on the basis that "no one is above the law.

The effective functioning of presidential power does not require that the former president be immune from liability for these alleged violations of federal criminal law. On the contrary, it is a fundamental principle of our constitutional system that no one is above the law, including the president

- wrote Smith.

For reference

Trump appeals the lower court's rejection of his request for protection from the criminal case - Trump emphasizes that he was president when he committed the acts underlying the case.

Biden's predecessor is the first former White House official to be involved in a criminal case. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges he faces, trying to describe them as politically motivated, but suffered a double setback on Thursday when judges in different states rejected Trump's request to dismiss criminal charges against him.

Recall

Trump criticized immigration from "disaster countries" and expressed a preference for immigrants from "good" countriessuch as Denmark and Switzerland during a speech at a fundraiser in Florida.

Trump's plan to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours is to pressure Ukraine to cede Crimea and Donbas to Russia, The Washington Post reports, citing confidential sources.
