Official Act Is Sticking Point in Trump Immunity Claim


Listen Later

Donald Trump may still get a victory even if the Supreme Court rejects his claim for blanket immunity from criminal prosecution.

Several key justices seemed inclined during arguments on Thursday to send Trump’s case back to the trial court to determine whether he was acting in his official capacity when he tried to overturn the 2020 election and during the run-up to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot by his supporters.

Cases and Controversies hosts run through the lively and, at times, surprising arguments in Trump’s appeal, and discuss how the court’s decision could delay any future trial until after the November election.
