The special prosecutor investigating former US president Donald Trump's attempts to reverse the results of the 2020 elections has asked the Supreme Court on Monday to decide on his presidential immunity.

This is what this prosecutor, Jack Smith, has indicated in a document in which he asks the magistrates to intervene “as soon as possible” to decide whether a former president is “completely immune” from being charged with federal charges or not.. According to Smith, due to the “public interest” that exists in this process, he has decided to go directly to the Supreme Court to have some decision-making power.

This is a case in which all the procedures are being studied by the Washington court. At the moment, the trial is scheduled to begin on March 4, 2024 in the federal capital, a date that coincides with the Republican Party's presidential primary process, in which Trump is the favorite.

On December 7, Trump's legal team filed an appeal to have all these processes automatically suspended.. In addition, Judge Tanya Chutkan already denied his protection by presidential immunity, allowing the case to continue.. “Former presidents do not enjoy special conditions in their federal criminal responsibility,” he wrote in an order.

In this case Trump is accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights.

Another court session was also scheduled for this Monday in New York against the former president.. A case in which he is also facing fraud crimes to obtain favorable conditions with banks and insurance companies and which has had to be canceled because he has not appeared at this hearing.
