What's Going On With Trump-Linked Digital World Acquisition Stock?

Digital World Acquisition Corp. DWAC shares are trading higher Wednesday after former President Donald Trump's legal team filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court outlining why he should be granted "ultimate immunity."

The Details:

Trump's legal team filed a brief outlining its argument, saying that if the court rejects his claim it would “incapacitate every future president.”

“The president cannot function, and the presidency itself cannot retain its vital independence, if the president faces criminal prosecution for official acts once he leaves office,” lawyers said in the brief.

The former President's legal woes continue to move the price of Digital World stock, as the special acquisition company is expected to take Donald Trump's social media company, Trump Media and Technology Group public.  

The stock fell Monday after Trump was unable to secure a bond to cover a $454 million judgment in a New York civil fraud case, bringing him closer to the potential seizure of his properties.
