Trump v US: SCOTUS likely to determine presidents get ‘some amount’ of immunity, experts say
Fox News
Legal experts say Supreme Court unlikely to accept Trump's sweeping presidential immunity claims but could give guidance that could have a critical effect on his pending criminal cases.
Trump's legal team conversely argued, "A denial of criminal immunity would incapacitate every future President…[t]he threat of future prosecution and imprisonment would become a political cudgel to influence the most sensitive and controversial decisions, taking away the strength, authority, and decisiveness of the Presidency."

Legal experts told Fox News Digital that while all nine justices might be skeptical of Trump's sweeping immunity claims, they are likely to give guidance on where presidential immunity from criminal prosecution ends for actions taken while in the Oval Office – which could have a profound impact in the criminal cases against the former president.
