Supreme Court prepares to debate Trump immunity claim in election interference case
Fox News
The high court will hold arguments Thursday morning in what could determine Donald Trump's personal and political future
The official question the justices will consider: Whether, and if so, to what extent does a former president enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office? Shannon Bream currently serves as anchor of FOX News Sunday. She joined the network in 2007 as a Washington D.C- based correspondent covering the Supreme Court. Her latest book is "The Love Stories of the Bible Speak."
This is new territory for the Supreme Court and the nation. No current or former president has ever been criminally indicted.
The stakes could not be higher – both for the immediate election prospects, and the long-term effect on the presidency itself and the rule of law. But it will be the second time this term the high court will hear a case directly involving the former president.
