Supreme Court weighs limits of presidential immunity in Trump case: Listen live

The Supreme Court will weigh the limits of presidential immunity Thursday in an unprecedented and historic case with significant implications for former President Trump, his legal fights and the 2024 race for the White House.

Trump is pushing an argument that has already been rejected by two lower courts: That as a former executive, he remains immune from prosecution for official actions he took while holding office.

Prosecutors see the novel argument as one that would put presidents beyond the reach of the criminal justice system even after they leave office.

On the bench are three conservatives Trump nominated to the court — Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett — but the court’s verdict could cut against claims from the presumptive GOP nominee that he should not be prosecuted.
