Carrie Johnson and former White House Counsel
Neil Eggleston.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments over whether former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution. A majority of the justices appeared skeptical of blanket immunity. But some of the conservative justices hinted at the need for some immunity for certain actions taken while in office. The speed at which the court releases an opinion could determine whether the federal election interference case goes to trial before the November election.
Topics include:
- Justices' questions
- Scope of immunity
- Private vs official acts
- Impact on federal election interference case
