Former CIA Director John Brennan, MSNBC national security analyst Frank Figliuzzi, and Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary McCord join Nicolle Wallace to discuss the terrifying national security implications of the new presidential immunity granted by the Supreme Court.
The federal election interference prosecution against Donald Trump is finally back in the trial court. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan can now apply the Supreme Court’s ruling bestowing broad criminal immunity on former presidents to Trump’s case, to see what’s left of it after the high court imposed a new and murky immunity test. It’s unclear what precise form that complex project will take — whether with written briefs, hearings or a combination of the two.
As an example of what Chutkan must decide, Roberts noted that she needs to examine, “with appropriate input from the parties, whether a prosecution involving Trump’s alleged attempts to influence the Vice President’s oversight of the certification proceeding in his capacity as President of the Senate would pose any dangers of intrusion on the authority and functions of the Executive Branch.
