This week, host Elisa is joined by Jamil Jaffer to cover the latest buzzworthy national security law topics. How might the denial of Donald Trump's presidential immunity impact future checks on executive power? Will Defense Secretary Austin's hospitalization impact U.S. involvements abroad? And did Tucker Carlson's interview with Vladamir Putin simply serve as a propaganda tool, contributing to the deluge of disinformation out of Russia?  Jamil Jaffer is the Founder and Executive Director of the National Security Institute, and an Assistant Professor of Law and Director of the National Security Law & Policy Program at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University: https://www.law.gmu.edu/faculty/directory/fulltime/jaffer_jamil_n References:    Summary of the Emoluments Clause Restrictions: https://dodsoco.ogc.osd.mil/Portals/102/summary_emoluments_clause_restrictions.pdf   Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA): An Overview: https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF10499   Marimow, Ann E., and Cat Zakrzewski. “U.S. Supreme Court to Rule on Texas Law Limiting Social Media Content Removal.” The Texas Tribune, The Washington Post, 29 Sept. 2023: www.texastribune.org/2023/09/29/supreme-court-texas-social-media-law/.
