WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump “resorted to crimes” in a failed bid to cling to power after losing the 2020 election, federal prosecutors said in a newly unsealed court filing that argues that the former president is not entitled to immunity from prosecution. The filing was unsealed Wednesday. It was submitted by special counsel Jack Smith’s team following a Supreme Court opinion that conferred broad immunity on former presidents and narrowed the scope of the prosecution. This is a developing story. Please check back for more updates.

U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan – currently presiding over the Trump January 6th trial prosecuted by the Biden Justice Department – previously worked at a law firm that represented Russia hoax dossier firm Fusion GPS. During her time at Boies Schiller Flexner, the law firm also reportedly represented Huma Abedin, a key figure in the Hillary Clinton private email server case.
