be a major political minefield for now. it deny special counsel, jack smith, requests to fast-track a decision on whether donald trump has broad immunity for actions he took as president while challenging his 2020 election loss. this means justices will allow the case to move forward through the regular appeals process. it is likely that the court will also be soon confronted with another trump case. today trump confirmed that his legal team is working on an appeal of a colorado high court ruling that would kick him off the primary ballot. there are challenges to trump s ballot eligibility underway and more than a dozen other states including michigan. now that state is also in the spotlight after the detroit news reported that trump and rnc chair woman, ronna mcdaniel, try to pressure to republican canvassers and michigan into not certifying the 2020 presidential election results. the paper reviewed recordings of trump and mcdaniel on phone calls with to local officials just
