Trump celebrates Supreme Court win by saying it was his 'duty to investigate' 2020 results

Donald Trump on Friday celebrated the fact that the Supreme Court shut down Special Counsel Jack Smith's request to skip over an appellate court when it comes to deciding if Trump is immune from prosecution over his alleged efforts to subvert the 2020 election.

The Supreme Court rejected Smith's request for an expedited review, instead seeking the appellate court's input on the matter.

Trump, who was found by the lower court to be seeking king status with his request for immunity, said that the court ruled against Smith "unanimously," although legal experts say the lack of dissenting opinions doesn't necessarily mean no one disagreed.

"The Supreme Court has unanimously rejected Deranged Jack Smith’s desperate attempt to short circuit our Great Constitution," Trump wrote on his social media network, Truth Social. "Crooked Joe Biden and his henchmen waited three years to bring this sham case, and now they have tried and failed to rush this Witch Hunt through the courts."

On the merits, Trump doubled down on his argument for immunity.

"Of course I am entitled to Presidential Immunity. I was President, it was my right and duty to investigate, and speak on, the rigged and stolen 2020 Presidential Election," Trump claimed. "Looking forward to the very important arguments on Presidential Immunity in front of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. Make America Great Again"
