4:32 am
another historic day at the u.s. supreme court where justices will soon hear arguments to decide if former president donald trump has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for official actions he took while in office. >> if a president doesn't have full immunity, you really don't have a president. >> reporter: two lower courts have already rejected trump's claims of immunity. the high court's decision would determine whether or not special counsel jack smith can move forward with his case charging trump with scheming to overturn the 2020 presidential election results which trump denies. >> never recognized this sort of immunity from criminal prosecution that trump is requesting. so i think it's a pretty uphill battle for the trump side. >> reporter: if the court rules against the former president's immunity claims, his election interference trial could possibly start before the election this november. though the court could also decide to send the case back to the lower courts. legal experts say that would

those are some of the headlines on the "morning newsstand."

"the arizona daily star" says the state house voted to repeal an 1864 law that bans abortions except to save the life of a mother. three republicans joined democrats to repeal the long-dormant measure. it was reinstated by the state supreme court earlier this month. the repeal now goes to the arizona senate where it is expected to pass. democratic governor katie hobbs said she will sign it into law.
