Red state AGs blast special counsel push for SCOTUS to rush Trump case: ‘partisan interests’
Fox News
A group of 19 GOP attorneys general says that special counsel Jack Smith's request to the Supreme Court to expedite Donald Trump's immunity claim is driven by "partisan interests."
Smith asked for expedited consideration of the case to essentially have the high court take over jurisdiction before the lower federal courts have fully decided the matter, bypassing an entire appellate process though a special rule – Rule 11 — reserved for emergencies. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
But 19 attorneys general filed a brief to the high court Tuesday arguing that Smith’s rationale is politically motivated to keep Trump’s trial ahead of the 2024 election in November.
