Supreme Court hears arguments on Trump's immunity claim
Listen now
Description
Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with a whirlwind 24 hours of legal twists with Donald Trump at the center of three pivotal cases. In New York, a key witness in Trump's criminal trial, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, took the stand for a third day. Pecker admitted to helping suppress Playboy model Karen McDougal's story about her affair with Trump to aid his 2016 election bid, acknowledging this violated campaign finance laws. Meanwhile, in Arizona, 18 individuals, including 11 "fake electors," faced indictments for attempts to overturn Trump's 2020 election loss. Among them are Trump allies Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Boris Epshteyn. Although Trump escaped charges, he was labeled an unindicted co-conspirator. Concurrently, the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. heard arguments on Trump's claim of absolute presidential immunity, with his lawyer suggesting this could include actions like staging a military coup or ordering political assassinations—an argument widely deemed absurd. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) joins Joy Reid to discuss the apparent politicization of the Supreme Court. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
