Daily Mail Uk - Justices on the Supreme Court put a lawyer
for Donald Trump on the spot with a series of piercing hypothetical
questions Thursday to test his definition of the absolute immunity from
prosecution he is claiming exists. These
included whether his claims of immunity would extend to ordering a hit
on a political rival, taking $1 million in exchange for an appointment,
and even ordering the military to undertake a coup d'etat. The
queries were meant to test Trump's broad claims of protection for acts
taken as president, while is facing criminal indictment over his
election overturn effort.
Political Wire - “Michigan prosecutors consider former President Donald Trump and some of his top aides co-conspirators in the plot to submit a certificate falsely claiming he won Michigan’s 2020 election,” the Detroit News reports. “That means prosecutors believe they participated, to some extent, in an alleged scheme to commit forgery by creating a false document asserting Trump had won Michigan’s 16 electoral votes when Democrat Joe Biden had won them.”

NPR - A grand jury in Arizona has indicted 18 of former President Donald Trump's closest advisors
— including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and former
New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. The defendants are accused of being involved in a "fake elector" scheme
that sought to keep Trump in office despite his loss in the 2020
election. The indictment alleges that after President Biden won the 2020
election, Trump's allies conspired to give Arizona's 11 electoral votes
to Trump anyway.
