Senate Judiciary Committee to Hold Hearing on Trump Immunity Ruling on September 24

The Senate Judiciary Committee has announced a hearing on September 24 to examine the legal and policy ramifications of the Supreme Court's recent ruling that grants absolute immunity to US Presidents, including Donald Trump, for official acts taken during their presidency. The ruling, which has sparked significant controversy, was criticized by Senator Dick Durbin as misguided and dangerous for democracy. The hearing will address concerns about the potential implications if Trump is re-elected in the upcoming November elections. The Supreme Court's decision was made by its right-wing supermajority.
