Key Points to Watch for in Supreme Court Hearings on Donald Trump and Presidential Immunity

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments on whether Donald Trump can be prosecuted for plotting to overturn the 2020 election results. Trump claims only impeached and convicted former presidents are liable for prosecution. Prosecutors disagree, arguing that Trump misreads constitutional provisions. References to Nixon cases will also be made. Trump’s lawyers warn of potential consequences if prosecution proceeds.
