Washington | The US Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity should not prevent Donald Trump from standing trial for his “private crimes” in trying to overturn the 2020 election, according to a newly unsealed filing by US prosecutors.

The government’s 165-page brief, released on Wednesday (Thursday AEST) with some redactions, starts the next round of legal fighting over whether the latest version of the indictment can proceed after the high court held that presidents in many instances cannot face charges for official acts while in office.
