The US Supreme Court has been asked to decide whether Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution with the former president arguing he’s protected against prosecution over official actions undertaken while in office.

Sky News Washington Correspondent Anneliese Nielsen says there's been a lot of developments in the number of cases against Donald Trump recently.

"But this would go to the heart of a few of them and it would speed up the whole process," she said.

“This is quite an unusual move by the Special Prosecutor Jack Smith to go directly to the Supreme Court and say, ‘can you decide on this’ and it circumvents the Court of Appeals.

“The District Court has already ruled on this, saying that being the president isn’t a 'get out of jail free' card and they’re free to proceed.”

If trump isn't immune maybe its the end of federal absolute immunity or sovereign immunity. Then we can hold the government to account.

Trump's speech was made while he was a sitting President. Therefore he was covered by Presidential immunity.

Supreme court has agreed to consider Jack Smith's request for expedited hearing already. Trump has until Dec 20 to respond.

This would be a nail biter even for President Donald Trump.
They will eventually convict him, even some republicans are against him

**DUMB DEMOCRACY DUMB JUSTICE SYSTEM** They should have had the Westminster system as Australia does. Trump would have been in jail long ago in Australia, the Greatest country on Earth. 😊😊😊😊😉
