0:00.0 | Special Counsel Jack Smith just responded to Donald Trump's supplemental request to try to dismiss the |
0:08.8 | moralago document case on the basis of a concurring opinion by Justice Clarence Thomas in the overall Supreme Court decision which granted Donald Trump absolute presidential immunity. |
