Show Notes
For this episode of Trump's Trials host ScottDetrow speaks with NPR Justice Correspondent CarrieJohnson.
On Thursday the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on whether former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution.
Trump is charged with four counts related to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020election. But he is claiming since he was president at the time he cannot face prosecution. If the Supreme Court sides with Trump, the federal election interference case is dead. If they side against him, the case moves forward, but the likelihood of it going to trial before the November election is slim.
Topics include:
- Immunity arguments
- Why did the Supreme Court take this case
- Potential trial timeline
