Topics
Andrew Weissmann和Mary McCord分析了最高法院关于特朗普豁免权的裁决对几起案件的影响，包括曼哈顿地区检察官Alvin Bragg对特朗普案件的回应，以及Mark Meadows试图将乔治亚州案件移至联邦法院的努力。他们认为，最高法院的裁决虽然限制了对总统"官方行为"相关证据的考虑，但其影响因案件具体情况而异。在特朗普的纽约州案件中，Bragg认为特朗普未在审判前提出豁免权异议，且大部分证据与"个人行为"有关，因此该裁决不应影响判决。在Meadows的案件中，他们质疑最高法院的裁决是否适用于联邦官员移送法案，并指出该法案的措辞似乎仅适用于现任联邦官员，而非前任官员。他们还讨论了该裁决对华盛顿特区1月6日案件审理的影响，以及特朗普团队可能采取的拖延策略。 他们详细解释了Bragg对特朗普提出的反驳，指出特朗普未在审判前提出豁免权异议，且大部分证据与个人行为而非官方行为相关。他们还分析了Bragg提出的三个主要论点：1. 证据属于非官方行为；2. 即便属于官方行为，豁免权的推定已被反驳；3. 证据属于官方行为的公开记录。此外，他们还讨论了无害错误分析以及结构性错误的概念，并指出将此案与结构性错误相比较是极不寻常的。最后，他们预测法官Mershon很可能会驳回特朗普的动议。

The podcast discusses the implications of the Supreme Court's immunity decision on Donald Trump's criminal cases, focusing on the distinction between official and personal conduct.

Shownotes Transcript

What aspects of a president’s conduct are considered ‘official acts’? This is a live issue in several of Donald Trump’s criminal cases. Veteran prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord detail Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s response brief to Donald Trump’s argument that the immunity ruling should impact his New York verdict. Then, they remind us of Mark Meadows’ indictment in Georgia as part of the RICO conspiracy case. Citing the immunity decision, Meadows has now petitioned the Supreme Court to review the previous 11th Circuit denial to move his case from state to federal court. And lastly, after the High Court’s immunity decision, the DC January 6th case heads back to Judge Tanya Chutkan's courtroom later this week, where briefing will begin to sort through what is considered official, versus personal conduct.
