WATCH LIVE | Supreme Court hears arguments in Trump immunity case

Join The Washington Post as the Supreme Court hears oral arguments to determine whether former president Donald Trump is immune from being prosecuted on charges of conspiring to overturn his 2020 election loss to remain in power. The court’s decision to take up this case will allow it to shape the scope of presidential power and will also impact when the trial can begin. Trump is the first former president to face criminal charges. Trump’s claim of immunity has been so far unsuccessful. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing the case, rejected Trump’s lawyers’ requests to dismiss the indictment on presidential immunity grounds. An appeals court in February upheld that decision. Special counsel Jack Smith has petitioned the court to reject Trump’s claim that he’s immune from prosecution, arguing presidents are not above the law and that the charges Trump faces do not fall within the realm of a president’s official duties.
