Retired four-star admirals and generals, along with former secretaries of the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force, are urging the Supreme Court to reject Donald Trump's presidential immunity claim, citing potential threats to national security and democracy.
Former military leaders are sounding the alarm ahead of Donald Trump ’s Supreme Court immunity hearing later this month. Retired four-star admirals and generals, along with former secretaries of the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force, want to warn the justices about the dangers of his presidential immunity claim.
Memorably, at the federal appeals court argument earlier this year, a judge raised the prospect that, if presidents are immune from prosecution as Trump claims, then they could order the military to murder their political rivals. The presumptive GOP presidential nominee’s lawyer didn’t have a good answer to that nightmare scenario under his immunity theory.
