Anderson Cooper 360

Trump wants Georgia election subversion case dismissed, arguing he has presidential immunity

Listen Later

Former President Trump is arguing that he is protected from prosecution under presidential immunity in the criminal conspiracy case against him in Georgia. Trump wants the case “dismissed with prejudice” and his attorneys argue that the specific acts in the indictment “lie squarely within the ‘outer perimeter’ of the president’s official duties.” Conservative lawyer George Conway tells Anderson Cooper why he doesn't think this argument will play out very well for the former president. Plus, a group of House Democrats are calling for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from deciding whether Trump is eligible for Colorado's primary ballot. The lawmakers say Thomas’ wife’s role in the January 6, 2021, “Stop the Steal” rally that she attended makes it “unthinkable” the conservative justice could be impartial in deciding whether the event constituted an insurrection. Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez signed that letter and joins AC360 to discuss if she thinks Justice Thomas will recuse himself.
