Episode description
This week on Trump's Trials, host Scott Detrow is joined by NPR Justice Correspondent Carrie Johnson.
This week's focus: The Supreme Court and presidential immunity. The court decided they would not take up Special Counsel Jack Smith's request to fast-track arguments on whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution for alleged crimes committed while in office. Instead, the case will continue to make its way through the appeals process, further delaying the trial start date. Plus Colorado's Supreme Court decision to remove Trump from the Republican primary ballot.
Topics include:
- Supreme Court and presidential immunity
- Colorado Supreme Court ruling on Trump
- Predictions on how the U.S. Supreme Court may eventually respond
- A look ahead to 2024
