How will the Supreme Court’s immunity decision impact Trump’s cases?

from Next Witness...Please

The Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on presidential immunity raises as many questions as it answers. It requires trial judges in Trump’s pending criminal cases to hold evidentiary hearings to determine if his actions fall outside official acts, which are not protected by immunity. Trial courts must also assess what evidence can be used to support the remaining charges. The Supreme Court has ruled that testimony or private records related to official acts cannot be used in trials for unofficial acts, adding further complexity. This new process of evaluating actions leaves trial judges in a quandary without clear guidance from the Supreme Court. In this episode of Next Witness…Please, the “Judicial Twins” (retired judges Gayle Williams-Byers and Tom Hodson) break down the challenges trial judges face under this confusing decision and explore potential outcomes for Trump’s current cases.
