“Here, President Trump is considering several challenges to the Superseding Indictment, each of which should be resolved in his favor as a matter of law and would obviate the need for further proceedings,” Trump’s attorneys wrote.
“We believe, and expect to demonstrate, that this case must end as a matter of law,” they said.
"Trump’s lawyers argued that the former president is immune from prosecution following the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity.
"Additionally, Trump’s attorneys pointed out that the Supreme Court already determined that his communications with then-Vice President Mike Pence were “presumptively immune.”
“ 'Namely, in Trump, the Supreme Court held that President Trump is “at least presumptively immune from prosecution for” all alleged efforts “to pressure the Vice President to take particular acts in connection with his role at the certification proceeding.”” Trump’s lawyers said.
"However, Jack Smith kept Trump’s communications with Mike Pence in his superseding indictment." . . .
