The Supreme Court is set to conclude its term on Monday with a highly anticipated decision on whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution for his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. This decision could have significant implications for Trump's legal battles, including the ongoing investigation into his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election. The ruling will address whether Trump's actions were official or private, which may determine if he can be held accountable for his involvement in the insurrection. Legal experts and commentators are closely watching the outcome, as it could impact future cases of presidential immunity and accountability. The decision follows the recent Fischer ruling, which interpreted 1512(c)(2) narrowly but still covers Trump and the January 6 defendants, particularly regarding false documents. The Fischer decision was decided with a 6-3 majority by SCOTUS.

Whatever the Court holds in the immunity case tomorrow, and however we read the 6-3 Fischer majority on the obstruction statute, only a Trump victory in November will shield him from standing trial for the fake elector scheme, which violated three federal criminal statutes.

The interplay of what #SCOTUS did Friday in Fischer with what it’s likely to do tomorrow on immunizing Trump because he used to be president is crucial to understand.

Some fear that #SCOTUS’s Fischer opinion gives Trump a pass for Jan 6. @TribeLaw & @JudgeLuttig argue otherwise: Trump “impaired the availability or integrity” of docs used in the electoral count. But will it matter after Monday’s immunity decision? They join me 10aET. #Velshi

Good piece here explaining SCOTUS decision in Fischer. The good news: it will not affect the Trump Jan 6 case, which involves false documents. The bad news: it will be more difficult to hold people accountable when they obstruct justice in ways that do not involve documents. https://t.co/OHfNKPH22i
