Presidential immunity has limits, according to special counsel Jack Smith's new filing. Smith argues Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election were taken as a candidate, not as president, and therefore not immune from prosecution.
More from a constitutional law scholar who says Congress has a unique role in shaping the balance of powers at this moment in history:
Presidential immunity has clear limits, special counsel filing says, and Trump should be tried for efforts to overturn 2020 election
In a landmark 2024 case, the Supreme Court ruled that presidents are immune from prosecution when they exercise their core constitutional powers. So who decides what actions are not immune?The Conversation

#Harris campaign just announced the launch of #Wisconsin Republicans for Harris ahead of her visit to the state with Liz Cheney.
The group is led by more than 20 Republicans from across the state. In an open letter, the group writes: "Donald #Trump does not align with Wisconsin values. To ensure our democracy and our economy remain strong for another four years, we must elect Kamala Harris and Tim #Walz to the White House."
Bingo.

To Trump followers: he is lying to you when he says Smith waited til last min to bring case. Trump was indicted in Aug 2023. It was Trump who delayed this. We cd have had trial in March.
If he wanted to, if he actually believed in his own innocence, if he was doing anythg other than running endless grift on you, he we’ve pushed for this to get done pronto. It's Trump. He dsn't wait for things he wants. He just takes them.

#Harris has a lead w/in the margin of error in #Arizona +2, #Michigan +3, #Nevada +1, #Pennsylvania +1, & #Wisconsin +2. Trump is ahead 49% to 47% in #Georgia, & the candidates are tied at 49% in #NorthCarolina.

For the 1st time ever, a plurality of swing state voters now think that a #Democrat will win the presidential #election. This month, 46% of voters think #Harris will win, compared to 39% who think it will be #Trump. That is an 11-point swing in Harris’ favor since Aug, & suggests that Harris has been successful in presenting herself as a serious candidate.
