"Trump's Lawyer's Immunity Argument Shredded in Court"
During a hearing on whether Donald Trump can claim presidential immunity to dismiss a federal election case against him, Judge Florence Pan grilled Trump's lawyer, D. John Sauer, over the implications and inconsistencies in his argument. Legal experts praised Pan's line of questioning, which exposed the flaws in Sauer's position, particularly regarding the limits of presidential immunity and the potential for prosecution of a sitting president. Trump's attorney appeared flustered by the end of the exchange, and the former president criticized the possibility of facing prosecution for acts committed in office, claiming it would "open the floodgates" for others.
