History of Jack Smith's courtroom smackdowns after landmark loss in Trump immunity case

On Monday, the high court ruled that presidents enjoy limited immunity for official presidential actions. On Friday, the high court ruled in favor of a Jan. 6 defendant charged with obstruction for his involvement in the 2021 Capitol riot. Both decisions significantly set back Smith's case against former President Trump and add to an already checkered legal track record.

Smith charged Trump with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights. He had pushed to try Trump before the 2024 election, but the Supreme Court's decisions provided a setback to the trial schedule and a blow to the legal merits of the case.
