Trump asks judge to halt documents case after Supreme Court immunity ruling
CBSN
Washington — Former President Donald Trump and his legal team asked the federal judge overseeing the case involving his handling of sensitive government documents to pause proceedings until she resolves his pending requests to toss out the charges based on presidential immunity and the constitutionality of special counsel Jack Smith's appointment.
The motion from Trump and his lawyers was among filings they submitted to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Friday, which cite the Supreme Court's decision Monday that found former presidents are entitled to immunity from federal prosecution for official acts taken while they occupied the Oval Office.
Trump and his legal team argued that the partial stay is warranted based on the high court's reasoning in that case, which arose out of Trump's prosecution by Smith in Washington, D.C., related to the 2020 election.

Jan. 7, 1994, started out like any other typical winter morning for Rebecca "Becky" Savarese of Pittsfield, Massachusetts. There was snow on the ground, and it was bitterly cold as the 12-year-old walked to school. Then, at around 7:10 a.m., at one of the busiest intersections in town, a man came up beside her. "He had a mustache, but he didn't shave. He seemed like a nerd to me," said Savarese. The stranger quickly pulled out a gun and held it up against her.
