The US Supreme Court is set to hear Donald Trump’s claim of “presidential immunity” in his federal election interference case. Special counsel Jack Smith has requested an expedited ruling, which the court has agreed to. Trump has until December 20th to respond. Meanwhile, his civil fraud trial in New York is concluding, with Trump backing out of testifying.
In Washington, DC, Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s lawyer, faces a defamation trial for falsely accusing Georgia election workers of fraud. The plaintiffs in the case recounted their suffering, with Ms. Moss highlighting racial bias in Giuliani’s remarks.
Trump’s defense team rested its case, but Judge Engoron rejected their request for a directed verdict, calling it a “colossal waste of resources.”
The trials and legal battles surrounding Trump and his associates continue to draw attention and scrutiny, with implications for their legal and political futures.
