separation of powers

Donald Trump has consistently argued that as a former president, he is immune from being charged with a crime for things he did while he was in office.

Adam Liptak, who covers the Supreme Court for The Times, explains what happened when Trump’s lawyers made that case in federal court, whether the claim has any chance of being accepted — and why Trump may win something valuable either way.

Guest: Adam Liptak, a Supreme Court correspondent for The New York Times.

Background reading: 

• Trump’s immunity claim in court.
• Analysis: Trump says his acquittal by the Senate in his second impeachment trial makes him immune from prosecution.
