In a charged Supreme Court atmosphere that could reshape legal interpretations surrounding presidential powers, former President Donald Trump’s lawyers are arguing for their client’s immunity, all while Trump himself battles charges in Manhattan.

During an interview with Fox News, legal expert Jonathan Turley discussed the potential implications of the Manhattan case on future legal standards, especially concerning the extent of criminal law’s reach over a sitting or former president. Trump’s case involves 34 counts of falsifying business records, allegedly tied to hush money payments made to pornography actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. The ongoing trial has not only captured national attention but also sparked discussions about the boundaries of presidential immunity.

“I think that you’ve really captured the moment for the justices. They would love this cup to pass from their lips, but they have to drink. They’ve been avoiding this for decades,” Turley said, referencing discussions on presidential civil immunity.

The discussion around whether such immunity extends to criminal charges has been a point of contention, potentially setting the stage for “bad case law,” as Turley suggested.
