  • From what I’m hearing, it’s very likely that SCOTUS will uphold that actions that are part of official duties will have presidential immunity, but other activities will not.

    For example, let’s say that terrorists were in a building in America, and Trump authorized a strike on that building, killing many civilians (just as an example). That would be an official action, qualifying him from immunity. But, if he does something like bash his wife’s head in, even as president, he does not have immunity from that.

    It’s my understanding that this is the traditional view of the laws in question, I am not sure that Trump will be able to get that immunity expanded like he wants.
