"Trump Urges SCOTUS for Absolute Immunity, Citing Blackmail Threat to Future Presidents"
TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump's legal team has argued before the Supreme Court that the former president should have total immunity to criminal charges related to his acts as president, claiming that denying this immunity would leave future presidents vulnerable to blackmail and extortion. Legal experts have rejected this view, warning that it would grant presidents almost imperial power. The case is set to be heard on April 25.
