Napolitano Tells Newsmax: Supreme Court May Grant Trump Partial Immunity

The question of whether former President Donald Trump is entitled to presidential immunity for official actions taken while in office, but not for his personal actions, is being considered by the Supreme Court, according to former New Jersey Superior Court Judge Andrew Napolitano.

Napolitano, speaking on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America,” explained that the key issue is determining whether the alleged behaviors were related to official acts of the president or personal actions of Donald Trump.

If the acts are determined to be personal, then it will be up to a jury to decide if the actions surrounding the events of Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol were criminal and if Trump can be prosecuted by special counsel Jack Smith.

The Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments on whether Trump can claim immunity from prosecution for alleged crimes committed during his time in office. If the court rules in favor of immunity for official acts but not for personal ones, Napolitano sees it as a “partial win” for Trump.

Napolitano predicts that the Supreme Court will expedite its decision and send the case back to the trial court to determine if Trump’s actions were official or personal in nature.

Regarding Trump’s ongoing criminal trial in New York City, Napolitano commented on the prosecution’s attempt to establish a pattern of behavior involving Trump, Michael Cohen, and the National Enquirer. He also mentioned the judge’s forthcoming ruling on whether Trump violated a gag order related to the trial.
