Donald Trump’s campaign has slammed Special Counsel Jack Smith after he asked the United States Supreme Court to immediately decide whether the former president is immune from prosecution in his federal election subversion case.
“Crooked Joe Biden’s henchman, Deranged Jack Smith, is so obsessed with interfering in the 2024 Presidential Election, with the goal of preventing President Trump from retaking the Oval Office, as the President is poised to do, that Smith is willing to try for a Hail Mary by racing to the Supreme Court and attempting to bypass the Appellate Process,” a spokesperson for Trump’s campaign said in a statement.
“As President Trump has said over and over again, this prosecution is completely politically motivated,” the statement continued. “It is an unprecedented attack against Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent—Banana Republic style! There is absolutely no reason to rush this Witch Hunt to trial, except to injure President Trump and his 150 million, at least, supporters. President Trump will continue to fight for Justice and oppose these authoritarian tactics.”
Smith on Monday asked the Supreme Court to immediately decide whether Trump is immune from prosecution for his actions seeking to overturn the 2020 election.
“This case presents a fundamental question at the heart of our democracy: whether a former President is absolutely immune from federal prosecution for crimes committed while in office,” Smith wrote in the court filing, according to NBC News.
The Supreme Court agreed to consider Smith’s petition in a response hours later and gave Trump’s legal team until December 20 to respond.
