Tough Luck, Dems! CNN Analyst Says '0% Chance' Trump's Jan. 6 Trial Happens Before the Election [Watch]

CNN legal analyst Elie Honig had some tough news for Democrats and anti-Trumpers on Monday. Following the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, there’s a “0% chance” Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 trial happens before the November election.

“This case will not go before the election. It will not be tried before the election, and here’s why,” Honig said. “Supreme Court has just said there is such thing as criminal immunity. The test, as we anticipated, essentially, official acts versus unofficial acts. We’re sending it back to the district court. And this is an important detail. The court says several times, whatever the district court finds can be appealed before trial.”

“Jack Smith had made an argument of well, maybe the district judge, the trial judge can work it out and send it to the jury. And then the jury can separate official from unofficial acts,” he continued. “Several times in this opinion, the Supreme Court, the majority, says explicitly: whatever the judge decides about what’s official or unofficial, what’s immune or not immune, that can be appealed back up. 0% chance that happens before November.”

“Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority,” the court held on Monday. “And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.”
