Chief Justice John Roberts of the Supreme Court has requested that the Justice Department (DOJ) respond to President Donald Trump's attempt to assert presidential immunity in his January 6th case in Washington DC.
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals rejected President Trump's attempt to overturn Judge Tanya Chutkan's refusal to dismiss DOJ's prosecution based on presidential immunity.
The Court set a deadline of February 20th and its request points to a broader urgency for the Judicial System to address relatively untested questions of law that could impact the 2024 presidential election.
The trial has been indefinitely postponed by Judge Chutkan due to President Trump's various appeals.
