Jack Smith’s Trump Case Update

Special Counsel Jack Smith needs more time to prepare his legal response in his January 6 election interference case against President Donald Trump. Smith claims that the U.S. Supreme Court Justices’ ruling to return the issue of presidential immunity to the lower courts has caused too much work for his legal team.

Jack Smith’s request is ironic because he originally wanted to rush Trump’s immunity case to the U.S. Supreme Court (whether or not Trump has post-presidential immunity for “official acts” while serving as President), and the Justices said no.

Ultimately, the Justices heard President Trump’s immunity case and delivered a blow to Smith, ruling 6-3 that all former Presidents have immunity from prosecution for “official acts.” In doing so, the Justices agreed with the ACLJ’s amicus brief in support of presidential immunity.
