An attorney for former President Trump suggested the so-called “fake electors” scheme qualifies as an “official act,” which would prevent it from being prosecuted under the recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.

Trump attorney Will Scharf told CNN Monday night that some acts alleged in the former president’s federal election subversion indictment do constitute private conduct but the effort to put forth slates of alternate electors in 2020 from key battleground states is not one of them.

If you spent Monday morning following each of the cases handed down by the Supreme Court, you’re probably experiencing a bit of whiplash.

The biggest news out of the Court on Monday, of course, is a sweeping decision holding that former President Donald Trump was effectively allowed to do crimes while he was in office. Indeed, under the six Republican justices’ decision in Trump v. United States, it is very likely that a sitting president can order the military to assassinate his political rivals without facing any criminal consequences for doing so.

A divided Supreme Court sent former President Donald Trump’s presidential immunity case back to a lower court on Monday with detailed guidance on how to dig deeper into his immunity claims.

The majority opinion, which was authored by Chief Justice John Roberts and joined at least in part by all of the court’s more conservative justices, explained that a president’s official acts are immune from prosecution but that unofficial acts are not immune.

When he faces President Joe Biden in Thursday’s debate, former President Donald Trump will have to watch his tongue.

Trump is still bound by multiple court-imposed gag orders that limit what he can say about his sprawling portfolio of legal troubles.

Those restrictions could prove a hindrance for Trump if he is put on the spot about his recent felony conviction in New York, or the dozens of other criminal charges against him in state and federal courts.

The judge who presided over Donald Trump’s hush money trial has ended parts of a gag order on the former president, letting him speak about witnesses and jurors but shielding others involved in the case until his sentencing next month.

The judge in Donald Trump’s hush money trial has lifted portions of the gag order restricting what the former president can say about witnesses in the trial, such as Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels, two days before Trump will square off against President Joe Biden at the CNN Presidential Debate.

The Supreme Court is poised to issue its decision on presidential immunity as soon as this week, with the potential to reshape the powers of the nation’s highest office and hurl the 2024 presidential election into uncharted territory.

At the heart of former President Trump’s challenge — stemming from federal charges he faces for efforts to subvert the 2020 election — is whether an ex-commander in chief has criminal immunity for official acts carried out while in the White House. 

The judge who oversaw Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial in Manhattan agreed to partially lift a gag order on the former president Tuesday, granting Trump the ability to speak freely about witnesses in the case and the jury that found him guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

"Circumstances have now changed," Judge Juan Merchan wrote Tuesday. "The trial portion of these proceedings ended when the verdict was rendered, and the jury discharged."

Donald Trump’s team claimed Monday that he was “tortured” in Fulton County Jail during his August surrender on election tampering raps — as it peddled coffee cups with his mugshot.

“I want you to remember what they did to me. They tortured me in the Fulton County Jail, and TOOK MY MUGSHOT. So guess what?” a new fundraising pitch from his camp said.

“I put it on a mug for the WHOLE WORLD TO SEE!”

The prosecution of Donald Trump over his retention of classified documents has moved so slowly that some legal observers have questioned whether the judge overseeing the case is in over her head.

The actions of U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, from her courthouse two hours north of Miami, have only added to the mystery.
