CAFE Insider 7/30: SCOTUS Reforms & Trump Legal Battles

On the CAFE Insider docket:

– President Joe Biden’s proposed Supreme Court reforms, including term limits for justices, an ethics code, and a Constitutional amendment declaring that former presidents do not have immunity from criminal prosecution;

– Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s brief urging a New York judge to uphold former President Donald Trump’s Manhattan conviction, arguing the Supreme Court’s recent immunity decision has no bearing on the case; 

– Next steps once U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan regains control of Trump’s prosecution in the D.C. election interference case following the Supreme Court immunity ruling; and 

– Special counsel Jack Smith’s forthcoming appeal of U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s order dismissing the charges against Trump in the classified documents case.
