LISTEN LIVE: Supreme Court to consider whether Trump is immune from prosecution

The Supreme Court on Thursday will weigh the limits of presidential immunity in an unprecedented and historic case with significant implications for former President Trump, his legal fights and the 2024 race for the White House.

Trump is pushing an argument that has already been rejected by two lower courts: that even as a former executive, he remains immune from prosecution for official actions he took while holding office.

Prosecutors see the novel argument as one that would put presidents beyond the reach of the criminal justice system even after they leave office.

On the bench are three conservatives Trump nominated to the court — Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett — but the court’s verdict could cut against claims from the presumptive GOP nominee that he should not be prosecuted.

Join WGN-TV political analyst Paul Lisnek and Nexstar producer Chip Brewster for analysis before and after the oral arguments.

  1. Just like it didn't occur to them that performing genocide against the indigenous people and the kidnapping and enslavement of African was WRONG and quite the contradiction of what they said that they stood for.

  2. god i'm feeling 'is is' a bit here. the real crimes were and are committed under cheney & co's power of the president emergency powers that never left the building; they rot this country every second. those powers were a crime and any president not revolking them is a criminal.
