CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig said Tuesday that there may not be sufficient evidence to try former President Donald Trump in his election interference case after the Supreme Court’s Monday presidential immunity ruling.
The Supreme Court found in their ruling on Trump’s immunity appeal to toss special counsel Jack Smith’s case against him that presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for “official acts” they take while in office. Honig on “CNN News Central” said the ruling’s inclusion of a prohibition on presenting evidence of “official acts” means Smith’s indictment against Trump will “get torn to shreds.”
