Ex-DOJ Official Assesses Trump's Chances Of Supreme Court Intervention
HuffPost
Neal Katyal reacted after House Speaker Mike Johnson suggested the Supreme Court should help overturn Trump's hush money conviction.
Former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal said he believes it’s unlikely the Supreme Court would get involved with Donald Trump’s hush money conviction, despite House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) suggestion that the high court should intervene.
Johnson said Friday that the Supreme Court should “step in,” after a New York jury found the former president guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
Johnson said he knew many of the justices personally, suggested some of them were “deeply concerned” about the matter, and predicted that the outcome would ultimately be reversed.
On “Inside With Jen Psaki” on Sunday, Katyal reacted to those comments with skepticism.
“I know the justices personally, too. I have no stinkin’ idea of what they might be thinking about this,” Katyal said.
