Description

On this special bonus episode, The Washington Post's Rhonda Colvin sits down with senior video journalist JM Rieger, columnist James Hohmann, video journalist Blair Guild and law enforcement reporter Tom Jackman to discuss the historic Supreme Court ruling that gives former president Trump – and every president – broad immunity from prosecution for official acts. The crew breaks down what the court's ruling means for Trump and his ongoing legal cases, what actually constitutes an official act, and how it might affect some of the charges filed against him. Plus, how does all of this affect the presidential campaign?And don't forget, the sentencing hearing for Trump's New York case – in which he was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying documents – is set for next week.
