Summary

The first hearing in DC federal court in Donald Trump's 2020 election subversion case since the Supreme Court handed down its presidential immunity ruling has finally happened. Glenn was in court for the hearing and he discusses how Judge Tanya Chutkan would have none of the arguments of Trump's lawyer, John Lauro, who tried to convince her that she should not promptly litigate the very issue the Supreme Court directed her to promptly litigate, namely, which of Trump's crimes, acts, and conduct - constitute official presidential acts worthy of immunity and which do not. Glenn says: the hearing did no go well for Trump and his lawyers.
