Summary

This week, the Supreme Court heard arguments surrounding former President Trump's immunity from criminal prosecution about his alleged plot to overturn the 2020 election. The justices weighed whether or not the former President is immune from liability for official executive acts during his presidency. Former Federal Prosecutor Jim Trusty previously represented former President Trump. He reviews the Supreme Court's handling of the historic case and examines the precedent the justices could set. The outcome of the 2024 Presidential Election will boil down to a few select states. Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy is investing a lot of time and attention toward swing state voters and recently secured a spot on Michigan's ballot. As Kennedy aims to do the same in other battleground states, he's generating concern among his Democrat and Republican presidential opponents. Republican Strategist and Co-Founder of South & Hill Strategies Colin Reed discusses the strengths and weaknesses of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign and evaluates the problems it poses to the campaigns of President Biden and former President Trump. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
