“Every time they try to stop Trump from moving forward, he rises in the polls,” he says.

The Trump clan’s only defense is presidential immunity.
“When he [le procureur Jack Smith] saw that Trump’s defense hinged on the concept of presidential immunity, he figured there was no point in fighting windmills. The Supreme Court must decide whether or not Donald Trump enjoys immunity,” says Mr. Lavoie.
