Supreme Court hears arguments in Trump immunity case
The Supreme Court weighed the question of whether former President Donald Trump should go to trial for plotting to overturn the 2020 election. Mr. Trump's lawyer argued that the Office of President would be hobbled without immunity, while the lawyer for the special counsel argued that there is no provision of immunity in the Constitution. Plus, David Pecker testified about what he knew of the payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep her relationship with Trump quiet. He also discussed an agreement the National Enquirer made with former Playboy model Karen McDougal. NBC News' Laura Jarrett and Vaughn Hillyard report.

#SupremeCourt #Trump #Trial
A POTUS with complete immunity has no need of a Supreme Court.
Amen to this
The SCOTUS is going to neuter itself all by themselves in their effort to push Trump and the MAGA GOP's agenda.
Potus is not immune!😂🤣😂
Agreed, Clinton should have gone to jail for giving our rocket tech to China. Maybe he still can if this goes through.
When a dictator tells you that he is a dictator, believe him.
So Biden is!
LOCK HIM UP NOW 🔒
Excuse me. How can any judge that was appointed by trump weigh in on and decide issues that are DIRECTLY RELATED to trump???!!! Talk about conflict of interest. All the judges appointed by trump should recuse themselves from any cases INVOLVING trump. Come on!
Cuz Murica! Greatest country God ever made
This case is about absolute immunity that would apply to ALL presidents. They won't be deciding whether he was acting in his official capacity on January 6th.
Daily Reminder: "I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain." - Liz Cheney
Lol. She's a clown. That's still funny.
LOL They don't care. You have to have honor in the first place in order to lose it or feel shame.
@@BlackFishOrcinus I know it but I just love trollin Trumpanzees. 😀
Boarder economy energy police woke and foreign policies and no common sense, if you like Biden vote for. Me vote him and dems out they are hurting our country
Liz who? Lol. Her word means nothing. MAGA is the future of this country. Long after Trump.
If the trial will not happen before November, Mr. Chump, if reelected, will no doubt pardon himself🤣
Immunity vs. a president with the ability to weaponise their justice system. That's what's on the line here. Where's the middle??
Vote as if your life is at stake, yes we can, and yes, we will😊❤
Trump 2024
These courtroom drawings are a million times better than the drawings from the tabloid trial.
Personal gain is the key words here folks…
Australia here! Question: What is the difference between a President and an every day person but for their title and call to duty, that what they do with their Life should subscribe to nothing other than human decency! There is nothing decent about granting a person - whoever they are! - such immunity that they can commit crimes with the sole intent of self-protection. And let's be honest, shall we? That is all Donald Trump is concerned about: his own protection, knowing full well that his is a criminal's mind, and one which when shrivelled up behind the closed doors of his gold-leafed delusional life, fears accountability!
If the Supreme court are upholders of the law tgen this question of Presidential immunity should be an easy one to resolve ? No one should be above the law !!
People are fools to believe corrupt politicians and oligarchs care about the working class, disabled and poor.🌸Ⓐ🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️☭🌎
This is ridiculous I don't care how important you think you are. If Justice is blind he should be held accountable for his crimes just like any American person I don't care how powerful or who you are. I would say the same thing about Biden or any other future president. This kind of thought process is the exact reason they pardoned Nixon. Because of one president can be held accountable, then every one after should be as well.
If Ford hadn't pardoned Nixon, charges against Nixon for his actions would have settled this issue once and for all.
Next stop... Monarchy.
Next stop Who is John Galt?
Does the prosecution not understand that Pecker's testimony was helpful to the defense?
VOTE to save democracy for our 2028 President 💙🇺🇲🌎
I am so sad because we the people DO NOT MEAN ANYTHING TO THE GOVERNMENT. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
SCOTUS don’t want to bother with this nonsense
It's weird that conservative judges would be asking questions that somehow open the door to absolute immunity. The ruling in this case should be 9-0 in favor of no absolute immunity. They should have left the appeal court ruling stand.
Scripture says , it is appointed unto man once to die , and then the Judgement.
All the Supreme court justice should have been at the Capitol on Jan 6. I wonder on how that may had a huge significant & obviously verdict today to American people😮
If the court rules against Trump in this case , they might have their own January 6th experience courtesy of the Trump cult.
It's up to States justice system to deal with trump lawlessness the American people should expect maga judges in the high court to represent law and order olny right wing points of view
Immunity is off the table
If the passes he knows that Biden can use that on him!!
A Big Nothing Burger!
If they let this happen the doors going to be wide open for everybody to say I want immunity put all the crimes I committed because the president got it as well
Immunity justified as all served before enjoy~
I sure miss the four years of low inflation, no new wars, secured border and when the president could speak coherently
Covid and Jan 6. No thanks. Enjoy your L's.
« bing, bing, bong, covfefe « is that speaking coherently?
@@auntiepha8343 Oh so you know exactly who I’m talking about meaning you believe everything I just said about the man… thanks 😁

That's what they did , last time that Trump lost.
bye nbc
Even assuming Trump doesn't have immunity, it won't go before the election. It would take 3 months alone to find a jury. However, it could very happoen given the 3 day SLIP SHOTTY jury selection process completed in the New York Trial presently going.
LOCK HIM UP NOW 🔒
So Beautiful Early This Morning Around 6:A.M Thousands Of Union Construction Workers waited In The Cold to show Trump Love!!!
Remember that all Dictators (want-to-be) or real claim full immunity from their crimes actions and behavior.
Why isn’t Stormy being tried for blackmailing Trump ?
cops and judges get ualified immunity so should a president
It’s not absolute immunity from everything. We see cops get charged all the time. Also many federal judges have been charged and convicted of crimes.
Take your time scotus soon Donnie will be locked up and there is no need for this madness.
Of course Trump deserves diplomatic immunity.
Trump 24
