Supreme Court to consider whether Trump is immune from prosecution
Quick Glance: Supreme Court to Decide on Donald Trump's Prosecution Immunity
  • Donald Trump argues before the Supreme Court that as a former President, he is largely immune from prosecution. The decision will impact the speed at which Trump faces trial in Washington, D.C.

  • At the heart of the matter is whether a former President enjoys immunity from criminal prosecution. Trump's team contends his actions were official acts shielded from prosecution, while prosecutors argue against immunity.

  • Legal experts anticipate Trump's likely defeat at the Supreme Court. The outcome could also affect his other ongoing trials.

  • With a 6-3 conservative majority, the Court has various options, including affirming Trump's immunity claim, setting a precedent, or remanding the case for further review by the D.C. judge.

Quick Glance: Trial Judge Evaluates Trump's Compliance with Gag Order
  • Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.

  • Concerns arose about Trump's violation of the gag order by criticizing court members. Mary McCord explained how the administration of justice can be disrupted by defendants' statements, leading to legal restrictions.

  • Despite reluctance to detain a former president, fines may be imposed for attacks on witnesses and judicial families. Threats to security and witness testimonies pose serious challenges to the trial's integrity.

  • Judges emphasize the importance of upholding justice by addressing threats and ensuring the safety of those involved in legal proceedings. The credibility of the trial hinges on maintaining a fair and secure environment.
