Description
This week the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in former president Donald Trump’s historic immunity case.

University of Michigan Law professor Leah Litman and CNN Political Director David Chalian break down the foundations of the case and talk about what’s at stake. Learn more about your ad choices.
