as posted by the channelIs Donald Trump Trying to Expand His Presidential Criminal Immunity?
Hawk explores a provocative new article from The Atlantic by Paul Rosenzweig, examining whether Donald Trump is actively working to expand the scope of presidential immunity.
Hawk unpacks the implications of the Supreme Court’s Trump v. United States decision, originally meant to shield presidents from politically motivated prosecutions. But is it now being twisted into a shield not just for Trump, but also for his aides, cabinet members, and DOJ allies?
Using Trump's latest executive order as a case study—targeting Joe Biden's aides rather than Biden directly—Hawk explores a growing legal theory that presidential immunity could extend to subordinates. He connects this legal trend with real-world players like Jeffrey Clark, who’s now arguing that because he followed Trump’s orders, he too should be immune.
Could Trump’s allies use this rationale to avoid prosecution entirely?
Hawk challenges viewers to consider whether this legal maneuver is a deliberate attempt to establish precedent—and what that could mean for future administrations, accountability, and the very structure of executive power in the U.S.
