The former president, Donald Trump, and his lawyers are unwavering in their demand for justice. If they succeed, the criminal trials that were halted due to Trump’s attempt to manipulate the 2020 election results may be deemed null and void.
Trump recently made a trip to New York, reminiscent of his days as a tabloid owner. There he met with David Pecker, who had previously helped cover up unfavorable stories about Trump’s affairs before the 2016 election. Despite his preference to remain in Washington, Trump had no choice but to attend court on the orders of Judge Juan Merchan.
During the court proceedings, Trump’s lawyer, John Sauer, argued that Trump could only be prosecuted after being removed from office by Congress. Sauer also contended that prosecuting Trump would set a dangerous precedent for future presidents, potentially limiting their actions and freedom of decision-making.
Several conservative justices expressed sympathy for the idea of providing immunity to presidents and ex-presidents. The Supreme Court deliberated on whether the crimes attributed to Trump, including his alleged involvement in the Capitol storming in 2021, were committed during his presidency or as a private citizen.
The chief investigator Jack Smith faces concerns about the future of the indictment against Trump as some conservative judges raised doubts about the foundation of the allegations. On the other hand, liberal judges emphasized that the constitution did not grant absolute immunity to the president and highlighted the potential risks of allowing criminal activities in the Oval Office to go unchecked.
