District of Columbia Judge Tanya Chutkan on Oct. 2 unsealed an extensive filing that special counsel Jack Smith submitted to dispute the idea that former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution for his allegedly criminal actions following the 2020 presidential election.
The filing is one of the first steps for the court in determining what remains of the superseding indictment Smith filed after the Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. United States, which held that presidents enjoy some criminal immunity for official acts.
