Former President Donald Trump's lawyers have asked a federal court to dismiss the 2020 election interference case against him, a move that could signal their intent for future Supreme Court review.
“No court has addressed whether such Presidential immunity includes immunity from criminal prosecution for the President’s official act," Trump's lawyers wrote. "That said, if I were betting, I don't think it would work unless Trump could somehow demonstrate that he was acting in the scope of his office, as he alleges, but which fails the smell test," Andrew Lieb of Lieb at Law told the Washington Examiner.
"The premise is that Trump is being prosecuted for an 'official act,' and I am skeptical that any court will conclude that the actions for which he is being prosecuted are properly characterized as such," Adler said.
