Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to deny a request from Special Counsel Jack Smith to consider Trump's claims of presidential immunity from criminal prosecution before an appeals court. Trump's attorneys argue that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit should address the appeal first, as it is better equipped to consider the "historic topics" of the case. Trump has accused Smith of having a "partisan" interest in speeding up the case, and has asked the Supreme Court to allow the appeals court to consider the case first.
