Special Counsel Jack Smith implored the Supreme Court to reject Trump's immunity claims.
Trump faces multiple felony charges related to alleged 2020 election interference.
The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on the matter later this month.

Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a 66-page brief on Monday urging Supreme Court justices to reject former President Donald Trump's sweeping claims of presidential immunity as a defense against the election interference charges against him.
