There is a “strong chance” that the U.S. Supreme Court will rule that former president Donald Trump has presidential immunity from prosecution, a former FBI assistant director said.
Chris Swecker, now an attorney based in Charlotte, North Carolina, told Newsweek that the court’s strict interpretation of the Constitution could allow Trump to walk free from election fraud charges.
On Monday, Special Counsel Jack Smith, the chief prosecutor in Trump’s election fraud case, asked the court for a fast-track decision on whether Trump has presidential immunity. The court said it would decide as soon as possible on whether to hear the case, an indication of the seriousness with which it views the legal issues involved.
