After the Supreme Court’s landmark immunity decision, the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York has postponed his sentencing that was scheduled for July 11, moving it to mid-September. NBC’s Laura Jarrett joins TODAY with analysis.
Federal prosecutor Jack Smith is urging the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's classified documents case to not take into consideration a concurring opinion by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas that calls into question his authority as a special counsel. In a court filing Friday, Smith agreed to a briefing on the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling and how it pertains to Trump's case in Florida. But he sought to dissuade U.S.
A private citizen cannot criminally prosecute anyone, let alone a former President,” Thomas wrote. Trump's attorneys had referred to Thomas' concurrence in their request for a supplemental briefing, saying it 'adds force to the motions relating to the Appointments and Appropriations Clauses.' Trump's legal team declined to comment Friday on Smith's filing.
