Five Major Climate Policies Trump Would Probably Reverse if Elected

Newsweek - Conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices may be trying to delay former President Donald Trump's election fraud case rather than grant him full presidential immunity, a legal expert said. Trump was indicted on four counts of allegedly working to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the run-up to the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. It is one of four criminal cases that Trump is facing while he campaigns as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. He has also pleaded not guilty to charges in the other cases, denying any wrongdoing and repeatedly said they are part of a political witch hunt.

Ray Brescia, a law professor at Albany Law School in New York, was reacting to Thursday's Supreme Court hearing on Trump's claim that he has full immunity from the election fraud indictment in Washington, D.C. "I am deeply concerned that a majority of the justices will find some way to stymie the prosecution by, at a minimum, putting additional procedural roadblocks before the special prosecutor, Jack Smith," Brescia told Newsweek.
