Good evening everyone breaking news from Capitol Hill just moments ago the House

failed to impeach Secretary Alejandro my yorkas by just two votes. It was an

embarrassing loss for Speaker Mike Johnson and we're going to have much more on that

dramatic moment just a bit later in the show. But we begin tonight with Citizen

Trump. The idea that an American president returns to being an ordinary citizen, just like everyone

else after they leave office, is as fundamental to the concept of America as the Bill of Rights.

We are a nation with no king, And therefore even the President of the United States

is just a citizen, no more, no less.

And as such, they are held to the same laws

and provided with the same defenses that you and I get.

That is what the three-judge panel on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals

unanimously ruled today in its crushing legal takedown

that counter to Trump's stated arguments,

presidents do not have complete and absolute immunity from criminal prosecution.

And thus, Trump must face trial for his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

In their ruling, they reminded Trump what the Supreme Court has already declared, quote, no man in this country is so high that he is above the law.

No officer of the law may set that law at defiance with impunity.

All of the officers of the government from the highest to the

lowest are creatures of the law and are bound to obey it. It is the only

supreme power in our system of government, and every man who by accepting office

participates in its functions is only the more strongly bound to submit to that supremacy and to observe the limitations which it

imposes upon the exercise of the authority which it gives.
