TL;DR Summary

Former adviser to Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, criticized U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan's ruling that presidents can be charged after leaving office. Chutkan stated that Trump was not immune from prosecution in a federal election interference case. Miller argued that revoking presidential immunity gives far-left judges, juries, or prosecutors the power to veto the actions of a democratically elected president. He claimed that this framework is anti-constitutional and anti-democratic, and that conservatives who do not speak out against it are uninterested in preserving the republic. Miller also argued that if immunity only applies to acts agreed upon by Democrat partisans, then there is no immunity for Republican officeholders.
