On Thursday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on former President Trump’s Immunity Claim. The former president will not be in attendance due to his criminal trial in Manhattan.
“Arguing before the Supreme Court is a big deal, and I can certainly appreciate why your client would want to be there, but a trial in New York Supreme Court… is also a big deal,” NYC Judge Merchan said last week, requiring the former president to be in his Manhattan courtroom.
A ruling from the Supreme Court on the issue of presidential immunity is expected by late June.
Trump shared his thoughts on the case in a Thursday morning TRUTH Social post:
If a President does not have Immunity, the Opposing Party, during his/her term in Office, can extort and blackmail the President by saying that, “if you don’t give us everything we want, we will Indict you for things you did while in Office,” even if everything done was totally Legal and Appropriate. That would be the end of the Presidency, and our Country, as we know it, and is just one of the many Traps there would be for a President without Presidential Immunity. Obama, Bush, and soon, Crooked Joe Biden, would all be in BIG TROUBLE. If a President doesn’t have IMMUNITY, he/she will be nothing more than a “Ceremonial” President, rarely having the courage to do what has to be done for our Country. This is not what the Founders had in mind! Protect Presidential Immunity. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Watch live above.
