friday night, judge chutkan, presiding over the criminal case of united states of america versus donald j trump, wrote that she, quote, cannot conclude that our constitution cloaks former presidents with absolute immunity for any federal crimes they committed while in office. nothing in the constitution's text or allocation of government powers requires exempting former presidents from that solemn process, and neither the people, who adopted the constitution, nor those who have safeguarded across generations, have ever understood it to do so. defendants for your service as commander in chief did not put still on him the divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens. no man in this country, not even the former president, is so high that he is above the law. judge chutkan noted donald trump's unique status as the only former president of the united states to be charged with crimes, saying, defendant argues, in essence, that because no other former presidents have been criminally prosecuted, it would be unconstitutional to start now. but while a former

this year, 2023, donald j trump broke that record. not just once, he was charged in four separate criminal charges this year. trump is 91 federal indictments are far in a way the biggest story of 2023. as the year draws to a close, it's worth considering the magnitude of each of these charges. it's also worth reminding ourselves how big the story is. how big this moment says. it's historic. how very not normal everything about trump world has been. donald trump's disregard for social norms, common courtesy, and the rule of law was shocking at first, but, like any of these campaigns, it can be exhausting to think about, to talk about, to live through each and every day, day after day, year after year. today, with his last day of the first year that a former president was criminally indicted, i want to underscore just how imperative it is that we is a country, as an electorate, and as a model of democracy that we aspire to be to the rest of the world, to really understand this is a really big deal. this is not some random guy who got ar

smith's request that the supreme court intervene now, and decide donald trump's appeal in the case of united states of america versus donald j trump. donald trump appealed a decision by the trial court judge, tanya chutkan, in which judge chutkan denied donald trump's claim of complete immunity from criminal charges from any conduct during his time as president of the united states and his claim that he was immune from prosecution in the january 6th case because donald trump's lawyers say that that would be double jeopardy because donald trump already was subjected to an impeachment trial in the united states senate on essentially the same charges. last week, this appeal by donald trump seemed like business as usual, when the federal court system, with the united states court of appeals and washington, d. c. having jurisdiction over the trump appeal. with an unlimited amount of time, to consider that appeal. and as i complained on this program last week, the appeals court could take a year to decide an appeal like that if they wanted to. and after the appeals court decision came down, losing side will surely appeal to the un
