Federal prosecution of Donald Trump

On December 11th Jack Smith, the special counsel prosecuting Mr Trump for extralegal attempts to overturn the last election after dozens of far-fetched lawsuits failed, filed what he acknowledged was an “extraordinary request” at the Supreme Court. Mr Smith asked the justices to resolve “as promptly as possible” whether former presidents are “absolutely immune from federal prosecution for crimes committed while in office” a claim Mr Trump has been pushing. Donald Trump tweeted in December 2020, “has a chance to save our country from the greatest election abuse in the history of the United States.” America’s justices declined pleas from Mr Trump and his allies to pilfer the 2020 election on his behalf. Is this a move to bar Trump from running for the 2024 presidential elections ?
