Former President Donald Trump made his final pitch Thursday to the Supreme Court in his bid to pause a trial over the 2020 election subversion charges brought against him by special counsel Jack Smith.

“There are overwhelming reasons why the case should not go to trial ‘in three months or less,’” Trump told the Supreme Court in a 16-page filing, rebuking Smith’s “generic statements” about pushing for the trial to begin months before the 2024 presidential election, in which Trump is the leading Republican candidate.

“With any other defendant, it would be virtually unthinkable for the case to go to trial so soon, and ‘wildly unfair’ to do so,” Trump’s lawyers argued.

Trump contends former presidents should have immunity from charges over actions they took in office and has said that Congress must secure a conviction during the impeachment process in order for any former president to face criminal charges in a court of law. So far, two lower federal courts have disagreed with that legal argument.

The high court could within the next few days decide on Trump’s bid to have them take up the case, which would extend the delay in his criminal trial.
