"Trump's Unprecedented Claims: From 'Seal Team Six' to Immunity"

Democratic Senator Brian Schatz has expressed concern over Donald Trump's attorney's argument that presidential immunity would extend to political assassinations, stating that it represents a new turn for Trump and poses a threat to American democracy. The attorney argued that if a president ordered SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent, their actions would still be covered by presidential legal immunity unless the president was impeached and convicted by Congress. Trump, who faces multiple criminal cases, is arguing that charges against him should be dismissed as they relate to actions taken during his presidency and are thus protected by presidential immunity.
