Special counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing two federal criminal cases against Trump, asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to deny the disgraced former president's request for immunity from prosecution.
“The president’s constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed does not entail a general right to violate them,” Smith wrote in a legal brief.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in the case on April 25 and will decide the legally untested question about whether a former president can claim presidential immunity from criminal prosecution "for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office.”
Trump faces four counts related to efforts to halt the transfer of power to President Biden after the 2020 election, in addition to dozens of other charges in other cases.
