CNN —Former President Donald Trump made his final pitch Thursday to the Supreme Court in his effort to pause a trial over the election subversion charges brought by special counsel Jack Smith.
“There are overwhelming reasons why the case should not go to trial ‘in three months or less,’” Trump told the Supreme Court in a 16-page filing.
The Supreme Court is expected to decide on Trump’s request within a few days.
On Monday, Trump asked the Supreme Court to block a unanimous decision from the DC Circuit handed down last week that rejected his claims of immunity from the election subversion charges.
“Without immunity from criminal prosecution, the presidency as we know it will cease to exist,” Trump told the Supreme Court.
