Legal analysts have taken notice of special counsel Jack Smith’s recent court filings, which have raised speculation about potential misconduct by a former president. In a lengthy filing, Smith's team warned against granting immunity to a president for actions such as accepting bribes, planting evidence on political enemies, ordering the murder of critics, or selling sensitive information to foreign entities. These examples have been viewed as unusual and thought-provoking by legal experts. The former president's legal team has raised objections to these hypothetical scenarios, claiming they have no basis in reality. The court is set to hear oral arguments regarding the immunity claim, and it is widely anticipated that the previous ruling against immunity will be upheld. The legal community is closely watching this case, as it may have significant implications for the criminal liability of former presidents.
