Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to weigh Trump’s immunity claim despite recusal calls over Jan. 6

Many things about Donald Trump’s Supreme Court immunity appeal are incredible (in a bad way). There’s the alleged scheme that prompted the election subversion charges at issue. There’s the former president’s equally subversive bid to avoid those charges. There’s the high court’s leisurely scheduling of the appeal, which could function as its own form of […]

After Supreme Court immunity hearing, don’t bank on a Trump Jan. 6 trial before the election

Even before Thursday’s immunity hearing, the Supreme Court had already given Donald Trump a win of sorts. The court had decided to hear the appeal when it didn’t have to and then scheduled the hearing on the very last argument day of the term.

Trump’s Supreme Court immunity brief leans on Kavanaugh not remembering his own argument

In his immunity brief to the Supreme Court, Donald Trump name-checks two articles by Brett Kavanaugh from before Trump appointed him to the high court.

Supreme Court charade helps Trump push weak immunity claim in New York

The Supreme Court’s choice to review Donald Trump’s immunity claim and set it for argument in late April has obvious implications for his federal election interference case. But the former president has also recently raised the issue in his Florida and New York prosecutions. While his bids should fail in those other cases too, the […]

Jack Smith calls out Trump’s latest immunity claim in classified documents case

While the Supreme Court considers Donald Trump’s immunity claim in the federal election interference case, the former president is also claiming protection from prosecution in the classified documents case.
