Description
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Donald Trump has immunity from
criminal prosecution for some actions he took as president while

counsel Jack Smith leveled against Trump. Plus, what does this indicate
for the powers a President has? Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza and Ankush
Khardori — former federal prosecutor at the Department of Justice and
