00:02 The Supreme Court will hear arguments in April on the extensive of former president's immunity
00:06 from criminal prosecution concerning alleged or official acts as it relates to Trump's
00:10 bid to quash his election interference indictment.
00:13 Former President Donald Trump claims his efforts to overturn the 2020 election are immune from
00:17 prosecution as a part of his presidential duties, while Special Counsel Jack Smith argues
00:21 there's no precedent for such broad immunity.
00:23 Legal experts are analyzing the precise wording of the Supreme Court's order, which may reflect
00:27 a compromise among the justices.
00:29 The decision could potentially protect certain core presidential functions like military
00:33 actions or issuing pardons while rejecting Trump's broad immunity claims.
