Does Trump Have Immunity?

POTUS’s legal woes may come down to an important decision handed down by the Supreme Court. This comes as Special Prosecutor Jack Smith takes the former President Donald Trump’s defense team to Scotus on the question of Presidential Immunity. Here’s more from RedPill78.

Jack Smith filed a panicky petition at the Supreme Court, urging the Justices to answer unsettled questions on Presidential Immunity. Why the urgency? The government really wants their trial to start on March 4th, the day before Super Tuesday.

While waiting for the Supreme Court to answer questions on Presidential Immunity, Jack Smith urged Judge Tanya Chutkan to continue forward with the case and the January 6th trial as scheduled.

Trump’s campaign declared partial victory after the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling finding portions of Judge Chutkan’s gag order were over broad. Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.

Presidential Immunity Denied

Judge  Tanya Chutkan issued a 48-page memo, denying Trump’s motion to dismiss the January 6th prosecution based on his claims of presidential immunity. She found that Trump does not get a “get-out-of-jail-free” pass simply because he was the President.

Trump’s defense filed a new appeal to New York’s highest court challenging Judge Arthur Engoron’s gag order over the Former President and his team. Appealing from an adverse ruling at the Appellate Court, Trump’s team continues to argue that Trump is entitled to the protections afforded under the First Amendment when commenting on the New York Court proceedings against him.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals authorized civil lawsuits against Trump to proceed with further litigation. Finding in favor of the plaintiffs suing Trump, the Court found that Trump’s actions on the 6th might have been unofficial and outside the scope of Presidential duties, thereby removing him from the protections of Presidential Immunity. Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.

Trump To Drop A Bombshell

Trump’s recent filing raises eyebrows after his lawyers provide notice he will be using classified materials in his defense during the January 6th trial. Trump’s attorney provides little details, only that the materials with show evidence of 2020 election interference and more to support Trump’s actions.

Trump’s defense submits their final reply in support of their Motion to Dismiss the January 6th case based on Presidential Immunity. The filing is joined by Jack Smith’s opposition and off to Judge Tanya Chutkan for a ruling.

The Oversight Committee demands answer from the White House Counsel’s Office about Joe Biden’s alleged “loan” to his brother James and the supposed repayment via a $200,000 check. Rep. James Comer explains the details behind the effort while he demands an apology from Rep. Jamie Raskin. Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.
