The former president would be delaying any judicial process that could intervene in the next elections.
On Monday, February 12, former president of the United States, Donald Trump, used his last card up your sleeve: appeal to the Supreme Court The decision determined by the former president does not enjoy presidential immunity, and must be prosecuted for trying to reverse the 2020 election results and instigate the assault on the Capitol in January 2021.
The main argument is that, upon leaving the White House, he became just another citizen, so was no longer protected by immunity that he had in office.
Trump’s immunity now depends on the Supreme Court
What the former president of the United States is looking for is that the Supreme Court stop that failure taken by the three-judge panel of the District of Columbia Circuit Committee on Appeals and restore his presidential immunity so that they do not send him to trial before the November elections of this year.
Given what happened, the judges have several options. The first es decline directly consider the case, the second es provisionally paralyze the judicial process against Donald Trump while they debate the issue of presidential immunity. AND, as last instance, hold a hearing to listen to the arguments of both sides.
This is why the case is now in the hands of the Supreme Court. In this way, they will be able to determine if the former president goes to trial a Washington before the elections of November.
On the other hand, the Republican candidate has attempted to delay any judicial proceedings against him, supposing that achieve victory at the polls about the current president, the Democrat Joe Biden.
This power would give him the sufficient authority to order his attorney general to dismiss the charges federal against him.
Faced with Donald Trump’s efforts to regain his presidential immunity, the prosecutor in charge, Jack Smithis doing everything possible so that the trial is this year.
