- Donald Trump is hoping that the conservative-majority top court will save him from at least one of his legal woes. Meanwhile, a separate case over hush money charges is keeping him occupied in New York.
The top US court heard arguments on Thursday from former President Donald Trump's legal team that he should be given immunity from criminal prosecution for any actions taken during his time in office.
Among his maze of legal problems, the top court's decision could have the biggest impact on Trump's third run for the White House later this year - as well as setting a precedent for future US presidents.

Trump's claims of unlimited immunity from the law couldn't be any more un-American. It's an admission of guilt.
Why does he need immunity if he is innocent ??
The communist democrat news has brainwashed millions of people by making news clips of Trump then cutting and editing vital parts of what Trump has said to make Trump look guilty.
How many times will it be shown when Trump tells the crowed-on Jan 6 to be peaceful and make yourself heard that part gets cut out all the time.
He dont need immunity he was never convicted of any crime he gave a speech and people did the rest its the same with Biden he gave a speech and we have over 6 million new people in USA wide open border killing over 100,000 americans every year selling drugs/rapeing/killing people yet they do a witch hunt on Trump
It's classic Trump behavior. Deny the accusation, claim the accused activity is fine, and then obstruct.
Because if he is prosecuted it can effect the election which he is winning?
HE Is doing all this to evade going to prison !
If someone thinks he is above the law, then the society has the right to exclude him from the society.
Mehh dude don't know bout that.
We have had to many revolutions. And for the better right? Its thinking to simple unfortunately.
There's something happening here......
What it is ain't exactly clear.... 😮
There's a gun over there
Tellin' me that I got to beware
Everybody look what's goin' down ...
Why should someone that broke the law have immunity?
Supposedly because as Prez he might have to do something illegal to protect the nation, and shouldn't be held accountable because of why he did it. But it seems that there are already laws on the books that discount murder in foreign lands (like killing terrorists) and several other crimes if ordered by the Prez. And every person in service to the US is required NOT to obey an unlawful order, even if the president gives it, so that keeps the Prez from misusing his powers, so he doesn't need immunity.
There's also limited immunity, which all on the court seem to agree on -- that in carrying out the powers specifically given him in the Constitution he is immune from prosecution. However, the facts of those actions may be used as evidence in court when connected to criminal activity, even though they aren't chargeable. I don't think for a minute that absolute immunity in all actions will be permitted.
Only a dictator claims to be above the law!
Right. Even kings and queens these days are constrained by constitutions and laws. What Trump claims is more in line with the powers and immunity Roman Emperor Nero had!
End of democracy in america.
Never. If Trump manages to evade all federal prosecution and wins the election, those of us who value democracy will fight back in every possible way, for as long as it takes.
Freedom from prosecution gives them freedom to do illegal things. They already have the freedom to do legal things
Only in a Democracy can a debate about whether a president has immunity could happen. The fact that this is happening is not signaling the end of democracy; if he is found to have immunity, that would be the end of the democracy, but if he is found to not have immunity, that is freedom and justice in action.
Difficult = illegal .... Right got it 👌🏼
No one is above law! That means no immunity
Well, this should set a precedent.
If full immunity is given to the President, then what will stop President Biden from arresting him and putting him in jail! I would love to see that if it happens!
when you dont like the Law, change the people who decide the Law to those people who agree with you.
Decisions to further one's career aims is not for the common good. How should immunity claims apply??
If we learned one thing in this conflict in the Middle East is that the powerful politicians behave as if they were immune to the law. And Donald Trump also behaves as if no laws apply to him. Time will show if this is the truth.
The question should follow : "how about Biden? You do realize saying Trump is immune is the same as giving unlimited power to Biden?"
What accountability mechanism is there for someone above the law? Voters who aren't above the law? Very strange...
Absolute immunity?! I though the Yanks hated monarchies.
GW shaking in his boots.
I laugh when the USA preaches other countries about democracy.
The US, by all criteria, is NOT a First World Country. What makes the US a First World country? Having a handful of obscenely rich people, the most expensive military in the history of the world, and Hollywood doesn't make a country First World. The US has some of the worst healthcare and medical care on earth. The judicial system is an absolute joke. The prison system is shameful... so what makes the US a First World Country? Actual First World Countries all do a better job in every category. I live in a developing country. I've got free world-class healthcare, geez.
why? this is part of democracy, arguing you case in court.
Trumpet Trump life
Just out of curiosity, how many court judges have been held accountable for incorrect judgments? Have there been any criminal cases against them due to such errors? In fact, it seems nothing ever happens to judges for incorrect judgments, which are extremely common. It appears that every judge makes them frequently. Judges seem to be above the law, not accountable, and are not elected by the people. Meanwhile, politicians from various parties face extensive criticism from the public and the media. They are often portrayed negatively. On the other hand, bureaucrats, particularly judges, seem to enjoy a lack of accountability
2:03 you can see the steam piping through this guys ears 😂
Above the law records is.
A political leader with radical ideology who has had multiple run ins with the law trying to gain or maintain power, with a fanatical following who are willing to storm government buildings, and who is in good relation with two of the worlds most notorious dictatorships. Remind you of anyone?
Even doing this question 2024 “if anyone is above the low” is CRAZY, even Putin and Stalin wouldn’t say this in face open or publicly, USA is in deep trouble as a society, Trump craziness from one side and Woke psycho from the other side 🤦🏼♂️
😢what's this guy saying about Biden there's no way he can't say that to Mr Biden that's mean 3:04
There are no arguments. NO IMMUNITY.
Last but not least, we have a federal indictment in Florida that concerns actions Trump took after he left office. No immunity. The fly in the ointment? Timing, and the complaisant judge. God help up get some justice here!
D.T should be arrested.
You can see the difference between the Trump supporters (really low level people) and the non trump supporters.
What the journalist says is that if the former president wins the case, then when he comes to power, he may crush all other opponents. At the same time, the journalist underestimates that if winning the case sets a precedent, the sitting president may immediately crush all his opponents.
How can someone range an election in a develope
Coutry like America
How many of the US Supreme Court helped finance the election of Trump?

😂😂😂😂 put the 🗑️ in jail
"All siting President enjoys Absolute Immunity not Qualified except for serious, heinous crimes."
Common Sense
That is a ridiculous argument, without the, "in pursuit of official duties" rider. For example, pursuing a war in defence of the US, okay, planning a coup because you lost an election, no.
Trump prison

Scotus kept repeating..this will be an example for future decisions..so i dont know..we'll see what happens..
This is pure BS that lady has no idea what she’s talking about. Unsubscribed
Yes. The woman reporter has no understanding of the Jan 6 situation. Better she said nothing about it than to give invalid information.
@@jollyjime2560 she immediately comes across as hysterical and proceeds to sound that way
😅
Hey , Iran you can go after Trump and have immunity.... !!!

partisan reporting...didn't like this anti trump bias.
Honestly tell me. In this Specific Situation, how could you be reasonably impartial here. What's your angle? What am i missing?
@@sonneh86 their coverage made it seem like the public want him to be convicted when the reality is the majority of Americans now support Trump. The wording by DW was deceitful and careless at best with the depiction of Trump as guilty of what he is being accused of unequivocally.
The truth is that he urged people to only protest peacefully and patriotically. There were some unruly people that got out of control and broke down the doors and windows leading to a riot...and not an insurrection, hence even the special counsel not able to charge him with insurrection, because it was not even close to that and video evidence supports that
It sounds like the reporter has already decided that former President Trump is guilty, but she doesn’t seem to understand the arguments coming before the Supreme Court, so she resorts to hyperbole. I prefer to actually read the charges and counter arguments before forming an opinion.
Nobody should be charged for political reasons.
Trump was charged for breaking the law. He lied about widespread voter fraud then made multiple illegal attempts to overthrow our government.
Trump literally ran his campaign on locking up his political opponent.
Yes, that's why Trumps being charged with 93 serious charges, and felonies, not for being a republican. Just like you would never throw a democrat in prison, or demonize someone for having a different opinion. Right?
