Summary
This extended Justice Matters podcast does a deep dive into the new ruling by Judge Tanya Chutkan rejecting Donald Trump's motion to dismiss his DC case, claiming he has "absolute presidential immunity" against being prosecuted for his crimes and that the double-jeopardy clause of the Constitution prohibits him from being prosecuted.
Judge Chutkan's written opinion is important reading, and may help reinforce (or restore) the public's confidence in the rule of law.
