Washington, D. C.:  , Prosecution by Biden DOJ for Jan. 6 Speech
How we got these: In this federal criminal situation, Special Counsel Jack Smith , charged former President Trump with four counts of conspiracy and obstruction , related to his actions on Jan. 6, 2021. The First Amendment protects President Trump’s right to raise legitimate concerns about a dubious election process, according to President Trump’s attorneys, and that resistance extends to actions taken by him while acting in his official capacity. The Supreme Court received the case.  ,
On July 1, the Supreme Court issued a big decision in , Trump v. United States , and determined that a former leader is entitled” to total immunity from legal trial” for “actions within]the President’s ] convincing and preclusive legal authority”. These would be activities such as national clemency, vetoes of policy, naming and managing agency representatives, and recognizing foreign governments. Further, for anything else a president does that is within the “outer perimeter of the president’s official responsibilities”, there is still a presumption of immunity from criminal prosecution. A lower court will determine the extent of what falls under this “outer perimeter,” but presumptuously anything a president does acting in that capacity, rather than just a campaign capacity, could have immunity for.

Judge Chutkan handed back to former president Donald Trump on Thursday, giving him another victory as he was told that he is permitted to rely on certain classified documents in his defense. Because Judge Chutkan’s order was kept secret, the nature of the classified documents is still a mystery.  ,
