Trump’s lawyers say that the request to the Supreme Court to review whether the President of the United States is entitled to immunity from criminal prosecution presents momentous and historic questions that warrant review by the highest court in the land. The lawyers argue that these questions have never been explicitly answered by any court, and the consequences of the decision would be momentous for the office of the President of the United States. The team further argues that in other cases involving criminal prosecutions of the President, the Supreme Court has “unequivocally held” that such matters are of constitutional importance and must be fairly considered by the top court.
