Urgent review of the issue of Trump’s political immunity in the US Supreme Court

according to the report of the International Group Tasnim news agency, following the request of the special inspector Jack Smith to investigate the events of January 6 2021, from the Supreme Court of the United States to review the political immunity of the former president of this country, Donald Trump, this court agreed to the urgent review of this issue.

Accordingly, Donald Trump had previously claimed that he had political immunity at the time of the attack on the Congress building on January 6, and Smith cannot attribute any crime to him. For this reason, on Monday, Smith submitted a request for an urgent review of this matter to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court also announced that it agrees with the request for an urgent review of this matter and ordered Trump’s lawyers to respond to this request by December 20, which is about a week from now.

About two weeks ago an appeals court in the United States ruled that Donald Trump should be imprisoned for his role in the attack on the Capitol by his supporters. On January 6, 2021, he will face a lawsuit and in this case he does not enjoy political and legal immunity.

While rejecting Trump’s claim that he has political immunity, the court upheld Trump when he asked his supporters to Rebellion to Congress has used his personal power as a presidential candidate. US presidents are immune from lawsuits only for official actions.

Donald Trump on supporters’ attack on Congress, says his words to encourage supporters to “fight like hell” against certifying 2020 election results, just a “matter of public concern” and related to his sense of official responsibility.

Trump’s spokesperson also pointed out that this ruling is restrictive and procedural, and he acted on behalf of the American people on the day of the attack on the Congress. This sentence violates the former president’s right to freedom of expression. But Judge Chatkan rejected this claim of Trump’s lawyers.

In addition, Trump’s lawyers emphasized that the immunity of American presidents from lawsuits should be extended to criminal charges as well.

Judge Tanya Chatkan stated that there is no basis for the fact that American presidents cannot face criminal charges after leaving the White House.

He wrote in this ruling: The United States has only one executive president at a time, and immunity exists for every president as long as he is in power, and this opportunity to pass Critical and dangerous times are not delegated.

At the same time, the prosecutors stated that Trump’s claims put him above the constitution and violate the basic principles of the US constitution.

Accordingly, since Trump is the first former or current president of the United States to face criminal charges Judge Chatkan’s ruling is also the first official ruling in the history of the United States, during which the president can face criminal charges like any other citizen.

It is also rare in US history for an examiner to ask the Supreme Court to intervene in a case before a final ruling on it in an appeals court, but Smith’s action shows It is necessary to deal with this issue before the presidential election on November 5 next year. Because if Trump is re-elected as president, he can apply for a pardon for any federal charges against him.

Smith wrote in his application to the Supreme Court: This case It reveals fundamental questions at the heart of our democracy. Trump’s claim of political immunity is deeply untrue and only the Supreme Court can properly resolve this issue.

while 3 judges of the Supreme Court out of a total of 9 judges , have been nominated and elected by Trump, who strengthen the 6-3 majority of conservatives in this court.

Meanwhile, judicial experts believe that Trump’s lawyers can use his request for political immunity to delay the trial and his freedom of action to hold election campaigns.

Also before Judge Tanya Chatkan of the Washington District Court denied Donald Trump’s request to see and review congressional investigative reports about his supporters’ attack on the Capitol building on January 6, 2021.

According to this report, the former American president believes that these reports may be related to his defense in the case related to election interference.

The judge announced that Donald Trump’s request for access to information related to the investigation by House Democrats into the attack by supporters of the former president on the Capitol in January 2021 The size is not justified.

According to the report, Trump had requested access to information that his lawyers believed was “missing” from the congressional investigation file. including transcripts and video images of interviews with executive officials.

The judge stated that the prosecutors have already provided the transcripts of these interviews to Trump and Trump’s lawyers did not explain how the video footage of these conversations could be relevant to his defense.

Republican front-runner Donald Trump is currently facing multiple criminal charges. Ahead: Attempting to overturn the 2020 election results and his supporters storming the Capitol in January 2021, keeping classified documents in his Florida villa after leaving the White House, paying a lewd movie star a hush fee, and trying to change Election results in the state of Georgia. He is also involved in fraud and financial charges. In addition, the former US president is facing a case of paying damages to a writer who accused him of sexual assault. Trump has denied any wrongdoing in these cases and has not yet been found guilty in any of these cases.

But Donald Trump raised these accusations only He knows that it is politically motivated and with the aim of excluding him from the 2024 election, despite the fact that according to the results of the latest polls, Trump is still the leading candidate of the Republicans for the 2024 elections. He claims that raising these accusations only made him lead in the polls.
