Description
Donald Trump’s week has been a mixed bag.
There was a victory of sorts as the Supreme Court agreed to hear his
argument that he is immune from charges related to allegedly subverting
the 2020 election — effectively granting him a bit of a delay in the
trial. Then there was a humbling filing in which the former president
and self-proclaimed billionaire admitted to not having the cash on hand
he needs to pay the hundreds of millions of dollars he’s on the hook for
in two civil suits — judgments he’s appealing and trying to postpone.
And, finally, today, he faces vital hearing in his federal criminal
trial over allegedly mishandling classified documents — one that could
affect how long the trial date will be delayed. Legal editor James
Romoser joins Playbook co-author Eugene Daniels to break it down for us.
