The Supreme Court of the USA agreed last week to take up a case brought by prosecutor Jack Smith regarding presidential immunity. Smith’s investigation of Donald Trump’s culpability for the events of January 6th, 2021, is on pause after Trump’s legal team argued that presidents have lifelong immunity for all actions taken during their term. Smith appealed to the SCOTUS to clarify whether presidents are above the law and it is shaping up to be a very important decision.
