USSC Briefing Room

The US Supreme Court handed down their ruling in former president Trump’s immunity case and it granted far broader immunity than most experts anticipated.

Why was the ruling so expansive? What does this mean for Trump’s criminal trials? How will this change the presidency going forward?

To discuss these issues, we welcomed Chas Licciardello from ABC’s Planet America back on the podcast to follow up on his initial discussion with USSC Director of Engagement and Impact Mari Koeck.

Read the full Supreme Court ruling.
