Supreme Court Debates Validity Of Trump’s Special Counsel Prosecution
The Supreme Court recently scrutinized former President Donald Trump's claims that presidential immunity and legal appointment issues protect him from prosecution.During the lengthy three-hour Supreme Court session on Thursday, Justice Clarence Thomas raised significant questions about the legitimacy of special counsel Jack Smith's appointment, and his query came amid discussions on whether Trump could be prosecuted for actions taken while in office, as Fox News reports.
Former U.S. Attorneys General Edwin Meese III and Michael Mukasey submitted a detailed 42-page amicus brief last March arguing against the legality of Smith's authority. They contended that federal prosecutions should only be led by Senate-confirmed officers, a status not held by Smith.
Aside from the Supreme Court case, Trump's legal team has also contested Smith's appointment in a separate Florida case concerning classified documents.

Go Trump and Clarence Thomas who the Democrats want to smear
ReplyDeleteSo if presidents do get presidential immunity that means that Biden could hire a guy to go whack Trump and he wouldn't be charged with anything.
ReplyDeleteHmmm.
A sitting president of the United States enjoys absolute immunity from many lawsuits while in office; it is under legal dispute whether they also enjoy immunity from criminal liability or prosecution.
ReplyDeleteDems have charged Trump with criminal activity --it's all political.
The Supreme Court should be able to define it more closely.
