Laura Loomer, a far-right independent journalist and ally to former President Donald Trump, has claimed that the former president will be assassinated by the so-called “Deep State.”
Loomer, whose online content is often shared by Trump, took to X, formerly Twitter, on Friday to share the news that the Supreme Court rejected a request made by the lead prosecutor in Trump’s federal election subversion case to expedite the former president’s appeal. Trump has pleaded not guilty in the case and says it is politically motivated.
Earlier this month, Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is presiding over Trump’s case, ruled that Trump did not have presidential immunity—an argument made by Trump’s lawyers in an effort to throw out the case. Trump then appealed Chutkan’s decision and instead of the appeal going to a federal appellate court, Department of Justice‘s Special Counsel Jack Smith asked the Supreme Court to hear the case. By skipping over the appellate court, Smith hoped the appeal process would go faster and that the trial date set for March 4 would stand.
“This is a major blow to Jack Smith and the Deep State who were hoping to try President Trump before the 2024 election by bypassing an appeal,” Loomer wrote on X.
