The Supreme Court will insist that prosecutors prove Trump’s personal intentions beyond a reasonable doubt, a legal expert believes.
The Supreme Court will likely set a high standard for prosecutors to prove that Donald Trump illegally interfered in the 2020 presidential election, a legal expert has said.
The court has agreed to hear Trump’s claim that he has presidential immunity from prosecution.
«I think the Court will require the government to prove by a high standard that Trump knowingly attempted to interfere with the fair vote count, and direct that the immunity issue be considered before proceeding to the merits,» he said.
«Whether the government can prove beyond a reasonable doubt what was in Trump’s mind will then have to be determined by the lower courts.»
Smith’s investigation focused on Trump’s actions leading up to and during the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.
