Trump lawyers say request to have SCOTUS hear immunity claims presents ‘momentous, historic questions’
The lawyers representing President Donald Trump in this matter argue that the case presents “momentous, historic questions” that should be decided by the Supreme Court. They believe that the only way to resolve this disagreement is to have the Supreme Court take up the case and decide the matter. The lawyers argue that the courts below are not properly interpreting the scope of immunity granted under the President’s constitutional oversight powers. The lawyers further argue that if left unresolved, this issue will continue to cause divisions within the judicial system and hinder the proper functioning of our republic.
