Former White House ethics lawyer Jim Schultz predicted that former President Trump will “swiftly” lose his claim for immunity as he faces multiple federal indictments.
The Supreme Court declined to take up whether Trump can be prosecuted for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and the case is now heading to the District of Columbia Circuit Court, where Schultz expects the immunity claim to be knocked down swiftly.
“So, Jack Smith has a winner with this one, right?” Schultz said. (Trending: Obama Judge Issues Shock Ruling Against Democrats)
“And I think in this instance, the D.C. Circuit Court is going to act swiftly.”
“And I think they’re going to knock down this immunity claim, you know, very swiftly,” he added.
This comes after Trump’s legal team claimed he should be immune from prosecution due to the conduct happening while he was still in office, a claim that was previously rejected by the original judge overseeing the case.
“The President stands alone in the constitutional firmament, but legal principles and historical evidence establish that, once out of office, a former President may face federal criminal prosecution like any other citizen,” Jack Smith’s filing reads.
