Graham: Supreme Court Will Punt On Trump Immunity

“I think the court’s gonna find that presidential immunity exists for President Trump like every other president, but you got to be within the scope of being president. I think they’ll send it back to the lower courts to find out exactly what actions fall within presidential immunity and what are considered personal.

“I think that’s the way this will end — there will be some immunity for some of the actions. There’s no absolute immunity in the Constitution. It will be a legal analysis, you know, the president needs to be protected.

“You know, we don’t become a banana republic here. We prosecute, you know, our political opponents, which is going on really in many jurisdictions. But I think the immunity question will be decided partially for Trump and some legal, some factual analysis as to when and where it applies.” -Sen. Lindsey Graham, today on CNN’s State Of The Union.
