Trump’s Legal Team Requests Dismissal of Jack Smith’s Jan 6 Case– slaynews.com

President Donald Trump’s attorney and Special Counsel Jack Smith have jointly filed for a status update in light of presidential immunity in the Jan. 6 case.

Smith filed a superseding indictment last week that narrowed and adjusted charges to avoid the new ruling’s pitfalls, ABC News reported.

In an attempt to salvage his case against Trump, Smith made necessary changes to his indictment that would circumvent presidential immunity.

Meanwhile, Trump’s legal team has humiliated Smith by asking that the charges be dismissed entirely.

The conflict arose following a Supreme Court decision that granted presidential immunity to much of Trump’s conduct during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

How the court will proceed is still unknown, but Trump and Smith filed Friday to clarify that.

Trump’s attorneys have requested that any further legal proceedings happen after the November election.
