Supreme Court gives Smith one week to respond to Trump on immunity

The Supreme Court on Tuesday gave special counsel Jack Smith one week
to respond to former President Trump's request to keep his federal
Jan. 6 trial on hold as he appeals his immunity claims.

In a brief order, the high court ordered Smith to respond by Tuesday,
Feb. 20, not a particularly speedy schedule.

Trump filed an emergency motion Monday urging the justices to block a
lower ruling that he doesn't have presidential immunity from the
indictment, an argument that has enabled Trump to delay his trial date
as the appeals process proceeds.
