Democrats are furious with the high court’s decision, arguing that “nobody is above the law.” Former federal prosecutor and criminal defense atorney Andrew Cherkasky joins to explain how the ruling will affect Trump’s remaining legal proceedings and why he could now appeal his Manhattan hush-money...

Legal experts shocked at SCOTUS immunity ruling: "The president can basically be a king"

The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that former President Donald Trump has broad immunity from federal prosecution. In a 6-3 opinion along ideological lines, the justices said a former president is entitled to a presumption of immunity for his official acts but lacks immunity for unofficial acts. The court sent the case back to the judge in Trump's election case to determine whether any of Trump's actions were part of his official duties. President Biden said the ruling sets a "dangerous precedent" and "undermines the rule of law" in remarks from the White House.
