The special prosecutor Jack Smithin charge of investigating the former president of the United States, Donald Trumpurged a appeals court a reject the former president’s request to file a case of electoral interference, alleging that he enjoyed total immunity while he was in office.
The prosecutor’s request is especially significant because of the argument he uses, as he ensures that Trump’s claims about presidential immunity represent a “threat to the democratic and constitutional foundations” of the country.

In a extensive writing of 82 pages presented on Saturday, December 30, 2023 at the Washington Court of AppealsSmith and his team state:
Instead of validating our constitutional framework, the broad assertion of defendant immunity threatens to authorize presidents to commit crimes to stay in office
Smith’s words establish the framework to prosecute the former president for trying to annul the result of the 2020 elections, which current President Joe Biden won and whose result Trump refused to recognize, going so far as to encourage the 2021 assault on the Capitol.
Legal process
The case is currently in the Court of Appeals because, on December 1, the judge of the District of Columbia Courtasked Chutkan, yes rejected the requests of Trump to file the case for presidential immunity.
The Court of Appeals will consider the case during a audience scheduled for January 9th.
