Presidential Power and Criminal Liability Debate
The case discusses the debate over whether former President Trump can face criminal charges related to election interference. It highlights the argument about the potential wide-reaching implications on presidential immunity and the proper functioning of the presidency if presidents are worried about criminal prosecution. The defense argues that such concerns could hinder presidents' ability to perform their duties effectively. Additionally, the defense points to various actions by past presidents, such as in the Middle East and at the Southern border, as examples of potential criminal charges presidents could face. The special counsel contends that the extraordinary nature of Trump's conduct warrants charges despite the historical immunity of former presidents.
