Breaking it Down<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A federal judge<\/u><\/span> on Wednesday unsealed a key filing from special counsel Jack Smith’s updated election interference case against former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia Tanya Chutkan<\/u><\/span> unsealed Smith’s 165-page filing, in which Smith argues that Trump is not immune from prosecution for his alleged criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election results. Smith submitted the document after the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year ruled that a president is immune from prosecution for official acts. <\/p>\n

“Although the defendant was the incumbent President during the charged conspiracies, his scheme was fundamentally a private one,” Smith wrote. “Working with a team of private co-conspirators, the defendant acted as a candidate when he pursued multiple criminal means to disrupt, through fraud and deceit, the government function by which votes are collected and counted \u2014 a function in which the defendant, as President, had no official role.” \u2026Read more<\/u><\/strong><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
