A legal expert has suggested that the Special Counsel’s team should argue against absolute immunity for presidents by presenting a hypothetical scenario in which a sitting president could order the assassination of Supreme Court justices and avoid prosecution. Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance believes the government should emphasize that if presidents cannot be prosecuted for alleged crimes committed in office, they could potentially target judges without facing legal consequences. This argument is in response to former President Trump’s claim of absolute immunity in relation to federal charges against him for his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
