Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers and special counsel Jack Smith are wrangling over whether federal prosecutors can file a lengthy brief in the Washington-based Jan. 6 case against the former president.
According to the special counsel’s office, the filing in the case seeks to address a July ruling issued by the U.S. Supreme Court that established that official presidential acts and duties should be considered generally immune from prosecution. Smith’s team will file the motion to make reference to evidence they can use against Trump and build a case as to why he should still face charges in light of the high court’s decision.
