In shocking appellate court argument, a lawyer for president Trump insisted he couldn’t be prosecuted while in office — even for killing in cold blood
The question of presidential immunity is now at the center of a case now before a federal appeals court. The Manhattan district attorney has subpoenaed Trump’s personal and business tax returns as part of an investigation into potential financial crimes, linked to the payout of hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, who claims she had an affair with Trump.
The hypothetical murder imagery comes from Trump himself. While campaigning for the presidency he insisted: “They say I have the most loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK? It’s like incredible.” Chin: What’s your view on the Fifth Avenue example? Local authorities couldn’t investigate? They couldn’t do anything about it?
