Part 1: Trump v. United States | Brief for the United States

What SCOTUS Wrote Us

Show Notes

Today I'll be reading Special Counsel Jack Smith's Brief for the United States in Donald Trump v. United States (filed April 8, 2024) - the Supreme Court case in which Donald Trump asserts that presidents have absolute criminal immunity. The brief is 49 pages long, so I will be recording it in several segments. If you are interested in listening to the oral arguments in this case, they are scheduled to take place later this month on April 25th at 10 am Eastern time. You can listen to the oral arguments as they happen on the supreme court website supremecourt.gov

I have something a little different for you today: since I often read documents from the Trump cases on the show, I thought my super nerds might be interested in hearing the audio from a guest lecture I gave last week summarizing the four Trump criminal cases at a Palomar College event held every semester called the Political Economy Days Lecture Series.
