Trump is arguing for immunity in his criminal case. Will the Supreme Court agree?
One of Richard Nixon's most famous quotes...right up there with "I am not a crook"... had to do with presidential immunity.
"When the president does it" he said "that means that it is not illegal." That idea – that you can't prosecute someone for actions taken as president - the Supreme Court has never actually ruled on it.
On Thursday, the Justices will take a crack, with the federal election interference case against former president Donald Trump hanging in the balance.
We preview how things might go.
