Immunity Cracked: When a Slip of the Tongue Breaks the Shield
Manage episode 484476224 series 3358688
In this follow up to our earlier episode on presidential immunity, we revisit the topic with a new twist: how one comment from a press secretary may have unintentionally undercut the former president’s legal defense. By labeling a controversial crypto fundraiser as "personal time," a distinction was drawn that could strip away the protection of presidential immunity. In this episode, we explore the Supreme Court’s language on official vs. unofficial acts, how that applies to recent events, and whether state level prosecutors might now have a clearer path to hold powerful figures accountable. This isn’t just legal theory, it’s a real crack in the system we’ve been watching for.
