Jack Smith Responds To Trump’s Request For Supreme Court To Intervene In Presidential Immunity Appeal

Smith’s filing comes earlier than the Feb. 20 deadline for a response set by the Supreme Court. It reflects his continued push to quickly get the case to trial.

If the court believes Trump’s request is worth reviewing, Smith argued that it should “treat the application as a petition for a writ of certiorari, grant the petition, and set the case for expedited briefing and argument.”

“An expedited schedule would permit the Court to issue its opinion and judgment resolving the threshold immunity issue as promptly as possible this Term, so that, if the Court rejects applicant’s immunity claim, a timely and fair trial can begin with minimal additional delay,” he continued. “The government proposes a schedule that would permit argument in March 2024, consistent with the Court’s expedition of other cases meriting such treatment.”
