Good morning. It is Sunday, December the 24th. I'm Ali Velshi. As we've seen over the past couple of weeks, Donald Trump's complicated legal situation is causing a lot of uncertainty in the political world. His third run for the presidency is threatened by challenges to his eligibility

to hold public office ever again, a question that may reach the Supreme Court in a couple of days.

Meanwhile, late last night, Donald Trump filed a brief to the D.C. Court of Appeals continuing to

assert that he's immune from prosecution for acts that he committed while president, specifically,

his role in questioning the results of the 2020 election.

That's the argument he's making in the hopes of getting Jack Smith's criminal election

interference case against him dismissed. It also has the potential to upend Fannie Willis's

sprawling election interference case in Fulton County, Georgia,

not to mention the fact that Trump, if Trump succeeds with his claim of immunity,

it could reshape our understanding about the powers of the presidency.

There is a lot at stake. In case you need a reminder, the former president was indicted four times

this year.

He's facing a total of 91 criminal charges in Manhattan, Washington, D.C., Florida, and Fulton

County, Georgia. A New York judge has also found him liable in the Attorney General's

civil fraud lawsuit against him and his company. And a separate judge found him liable for sexually

abusing the writer and columnist E. Jean Carroll during an encounter in the 1990s. Carol is also

suing Donald Trump a second time over defamation comments that he made on CNN in May. His punishment

on those two civil cases are still pending. On top of all of

this, he's continuing his campaign to return to the White House, and the Colorado Supreme Court

just ruled that Trump is ineligible to appear on the state's primary ballot based on the

disqualification clause, which is Section three of the 14th Amendment of the

U.S. Constitution.
