Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

Courts Reject Donald Trump's January 6th Immunity Claim


Listen Later

In our longform weekend podcast Glenn runs down his legal recap stories of the week. He begins with the new reporting that Jennifer Little, one of Donald Trump's current lawyers, told a grand jury overseen by Special Counsel Jack Smith that within days of the DOJ issuing a subpoena last year for all the classified documents Trump had at his Florida home, she "very clearly" warned the former president that if he did not comply "it's going to be a crime". Then, newly disclosed text messages between Rep. Scott "Pardon Me" Perry and Trump co-conspirator/co-defendant Jeffrey Clark reveal that Perry was in the thick of Trump's conspiracy to unlawfully cling to power. Glenn says the question now becomes, does the DOJ finally have enough evidence to indict Perry? If you recall, Perry requested a pardon for his apparent crimes on and around January 6th. Next recap story, reported first by The Guardian, "Georgia Prosecutors Oppose Plea Deals for Trump, Meadows and Giuliani." Glenn discusses why this is an important and necessary development in the RICO case. Then, the appellate court in New York reimposed the gag order Judge Engoron placed on Donald Trump in an effort to stop Trump from endangering the court staff. Glenn says more people will get harassed unless his pretrial release is revoked. And finally, a federal appeals court has determined that Trump isn't immune from civil lawsuits related to the January 6th attack at the capitol. Glenn says this a bellwether of what will happen in other court cases.
