IMMUNITY/SUPREME COURT: “Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers on Tuesday [March 19, 2024] issued a blistering declaration to the Supreme Court about Trump’s controversial assertion of sweeping immunity to criminal prosecution.
In particular, Trump’s legal team claimed that if the high court were to find that former presidents do not hold ‘absolute immunity for criminal prosecution for official acts’ then future presidents could be effectively blackmailed.”
