During oral arguments in three cases Tuesday, the justices will explore Trump's claim that he cannot be subjected toThe assertion of expansive presidential power comes as Trump faces an array of mounting requests for his personal and business financial records. His efforts to challenge the subpoenas in federal courts have, so far, been unsuccessful at every level.
President Donald Trump speaks during an event to sign a proclamation in honor of World Nurses Day, in the Oval Office of the White House, May 6, 2020, in Washington. "The president cannot effectively discharge those duties if any and every prosecutor in this country may target him with criminal process," the Trump lawyers added.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. speaks at the press conference after the hearing of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein in New York, Feb. 24, 2020. "Under its own precedent, it is hard to see how the Supreme Court can allow Trump to block congressional or prosecutorial subpoenas to third parties, like banks and accounting firms," said Harry Sandick, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
"What it would say is that this president is not different from any other presidents, that all presidents have to comply with the rule of law and with court proceedings," said Finkelstein.
NO
This should make everyone pause.... what is he fighting to hide?
Don’t let him erode checks & balances This mad man with more power is a threat to democracy
He really thinks he’s immune from anything & above the law. Makes me wonder what he’s done wrong if he has to ask Supreme Court to give him immunity?
trumps a chump
Call in the countries prevent the landing of Qatar and Turkish aircraft
His private business is his own.. if he has to show then make everyone of Congress do the same. Fair is fair!!
Вы молодцы
No, I am not in favor of an authoritarian regime. That's exactly what Trump is asking the SCOTUS for. SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi we can't let this happen. Democracy will take it's last breath.
Oh my. I wonder how a SCOTUS stuffed with lickspittles will vote? I'm on tenterhooks.
This is a good day for America. Donald Trump handily defeated Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in the 2016 race to become the 45th President of the United States of America. Thank you. TRUMP 2020!!!!!🇺🇸🚂
If he’s done nothing wrong as he continuously whines, then why would this be necessary. MakesYouWonder CriminalInChief
oh Hell NO! realDonaldTrump is still a citizen of America and subject to American laws regardless of the job he holds!
lock his ass up
Wow no kidding about these sexual harassment & rapes underaged rapes claims wow biggest & darkest stain on American history
President Trump will not be in office long we need to investigate and then send him to prison and throw away the key
Trump has a lot to hide.
Today realDonaldTrump will argue a president has absolute immunity in the Supreme Court. I wonder why that same immunity isn’t available to BarackObama
He is setting precedent. SCOTUS will deny the motion; this is what he is counting on. That will then set precedent for his administration to rain pure unbridled hell on the criminals in Congress, and they will now be afforded no safe legal immunity haven. ThesePeopleAreStupid
That's OK we will get him after hes thrown out in November or he won't live to see out his full term because the virus will get him first. Karma is a bitch.
No way.
Immunity ? he must have a boatload of CRAP to hide if he's afraid of prosecution enough to take it to the Supreme Court, he's guilty as HELL
This should not be allowed!
As a Presidente Trump must respect law of his country and be submitted to it.
Trump's directives to his lawyers he's admits what scares the hell out of HIM! Being INDICTED! NO? HE SACRIFICED AMER OVER COVID! HE'S KNOWS ALL HIS SINS! HE CAN ONLY OUT LIVE THEM AS POTUS ITS TRUMP'S DO IT IN PLAIN SITE? HE COUNTS ON US THINKING NO ONES THAT DUMB? YES WE ARE !
SCOTUS decided that one 46 years ago. Hand over the tapes!
But you report nothing on the Deep State scumbags/Obama. Spying on this President and trying to overturn & election. You have absolutely nothing at all to say about that. And you wonder why you are labeled fake media. Trump will win in a landslide in 2020 ! It will be glorious !
Come on Supreme Court, No immunity
*toilet flushing intensifies*
Seems fair, he’s kinda busy right now
This is outrageous and must immediately be rejected! The President is NOT above the law!
TrumpRussiaCollusion TrumpRussiaInvestigation TaxReturns TrumpTaxReturns MoneyLaundering Corruption
A perfectly reasonable thing for an innocent man to do. 😕
Why What's realDonaldTrump scared of. He really believes the best thing in the world...LET HIM HANDLE ALLLL his cases like the grown little boy he is. He doesn't need to wait til he's out of office. He can go to court now and handle his situations.
Funny I don’t remember Obama asking for immunity Whiteprivilege
the jokes never stop coming!
Investigations into his conduct as a private citizen?
F that

The judgement should be unanimous; no one is above the law. The blatant corruption of Trump is just stunning.
Abc in overdrive trying to slander POTUS ObamGate
Just like any other innocent person would do, ammirite? 😉
CATHERINENEVER2 I know this is the kind of headline you guys will come up with after obamagate
Dictator does as Dictators do.
NO! WITH 80,000 X 4 FAMILY MEMBERS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.....
If so much as ONE justice tries to defend this, they should be investigated themselves.
The highest court in our land has been corrupted by trump!
🤣
If this happens the Supreme Court needs to be investigated next.
My God, they sure as hell better tell him to go fly a kite. If they give in to this ridiculous request, we might as well pack it in as a democracy because all checks and balances will be lost.
What a disgrace to the foundations of the law
Kris_Sacrebleu
nola_chwica TrumpCrimeFamily needs a win
If he did nothing wrong why does he need protection from the law?
Hmmmm, I guess if the SCOTUS agrees with him we & the world will know America is the new FASCIST kid on the block.
Those in the cult of Trump don’t want a president with checks and balances as the founders intended, they want a king.
Joes got to go ! Help the Dems! Other countries are laughing !!
If he moves to Russia I'm sure he can get diplomatic immunity.
It is complete horseshit that trump can not be held accountable. A fucking criminal is sitting in the people’s house. This is outrageous.
Trump has something to hide I suppose.
F tha!!!
UnConstitutional
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW IN AMERICA 😡🇺🇸😡🇺🇸😡🇺🇸😡🇺🇸😡🇺🇸😡🇺🇸😡🇺🇸😡🇺🇸😡🇺🇸😡🇺🇸
This is horrifying.
jennycohn1 Trump thinks he is king.
Not going to hold my breath for a decision from the Kavanaugh Klub.
this is how Roman law worked and why Julius Caesar could not tolerate a lapse in office (for he would have been indighted).
Lets make a new amendment you cant run for president if you have sealed indictments pending after your first term
Did I actually read that right?
Do you Blame him he's been attached since even before he was running for ELECTION! If Democratic's weren't so busy trying to IMPEACH president Trump we would have had a Handel on this (coronavirus) Crap! Nut no your only interested in tearing Down OUR PRESIDENT and OUR COUNTRY!
He is going down in flames, individual 1 is shaking in his boots. I hope he brings all of his disgusting offspring with him.
Congress have investigated Trump for 3 years Time to give it a rest and look into Obamagate
We will see whether SCOTUS follows & defends the constitution or demonstrates they are complicit in a criminal enterprise. SCOTUS actions will prove it one way or the other. That is a fact. Their truth will be uncovered by their decision.
No one is above the law
Most transparent President in history
'Sweeping immunity.' Another bullshit statement meaning the laws of our country do not apply to Trump.
This is absurd. As president he has way too much free television coverage and motive to lie to the American people. Also has power to influence to be allowed cart blanche and should not be given immunity. In fact he should be held to the highest standard.
Why not? His conduct as a private citizen could affect his ability to be a good President!
...he bought the Supreme Court especially for this moment. They will fall in line as they were paid to do (still no word on who paid off Kavanaugh's mortgage, credit cards and country club debts), and protect their Supreme Leader. I have no faith left in our judicial branch. 😥
Is this a joke? A bit of humor from ABC News?
if they say yes. we will be totally fucked. the rule of law will be controlled by trump.
Absolute immunity ISN'T A THING in our Constitution.
He can GFH
Innocent people wouldn’t ask for that
Trump feels threatened now that his Republican friends drop him. It is the beginning of the end...Mister President.
Arrest Trump now. LockHimUpForever TrumpGenocide TrumpVirusCatastrophe
You sir are supposed to have been transparent on your own now you need to be made to. Isnt this all telling.
And scotus will grant him that.
That's standard ABC, but those who are now civilians and sought a coup against our President, now that's News!! Obamagate
THAT'S IT! I have said for a while now, the only reason Trump wants re-election in Nov to to keep his butt out of legal trouble. He knows that if he loses, his trash won't be out of the WH five minutes before an indictment is unsealed!
“Justice for One”. The most corrupt president in the history of our country. DumpTrump2020 cnnbrk nbc realDonaldTrump
Sounds more like someone doesn't want the skeletons in their closet exposed.
NO. ONE. IS. ABOVE. THE. LAW. HE IS NOT KING!!!!
Let’s just continue to allow this man to destroy the USA!!!
Too bad he doesn't have absolute immunity to covid-19, because it's closing in on him, closer every day.
If this works for you, my sympathies.
Beautiful Dreamer🎶
The obsession continues
No one is above the law.
Such limited government, right republicans?

Donald Trump may believe he is above the law, but we cannot allow him to steal another election this fall.
Only people that have something to hide, grant themselves immunity
Like the Senate will do anything anyway. No, our hopes are pinned on NY state. They'll FRY HIM in January. DumpTrump2020
If trump is so squeaky clean, why would he need immunity? Like we all used to say about cell phones and the government tracking your data, if you have nothing to hide and aren’t doing anything wrong, why worry?
Good
The Trump legal team further claimed the requests are politically-motivated, illegitimate and a distraction from the important duties of presidential office.' Same guy: Corrupt Unfit SCOTUS
Trump's already immune to facts and science.
The headline The reality
That the talk of a man who thinks he’s a king.
Makes sense. The President's political opponents are filing lawsuits and asking for a wide range of documents from decades ago to use against him in the upcoming election.
Seriously, can a president be arrested? Would he be processed by the police as anyone else being placed under arrest? Or do we really say to anyone elected to the office 'You are now free to do whatever you want?'

Of course he would. So that he can brag about it being a victory if granted. It's not like SCOTUS isn't bending over backwards for him as of late. November's coming.
Schiff claims sovereign immunity.
He owns the SCOTUS like he owns a pack of dogs. Corruption through and through.
realDonaldTrump you are a criminal! This just proves it.
Nah🔥❗️ A large splintered Oar up Trumps Ass, ABSOLUTELY😈😈🔥🔥😂❗️
He might as well claim “absolute immunity” from fire-bombing our inner cities, assaulting middle school girls and robbing banks.
Hilarious that trumpo's lawyers claim all this investigation interferes with the 'discharge of his presidential duties.' Best joke so far in 2020!
Does he wants a Coke and some Doritos with that too?
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely...heard that somewhere...wonder if the powerful SCOTUS can be absolutely corrupt...we already know GOP SenateGOP realDonaldTrump senatemajldr are absolutely corrupt
In a just world, NO ONE GETS ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY!!!

'When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right.' --Victor Hugo
Oh he wants to block the tax returns he said he would show back in 2016 and the Mueller report which apparently 'exonerates' him 🤣🤣yep actions of an totally innocent person right there 🤣🤣🤣 roll on Jan 2021 TrumpIsGoingDown
realDonaldTrump claims he should be above the law, how typical of tyrants.
Finally, now we'll all get to see how real America's democracy is and its claim to be a 'system' based on the rule of law... of which no one is to be above?
For Trump to seek this kind of protection shows that he's hiding things that his supporters may find to be damaging. It may be things that could cost him the rest of his life behind bars. No leader is above the law, Trump is wanting the luxury of a king.
hell no face the music you coward
Putting the F and U into Feudalism
Totally not hiding anything.
Hello, I am Rock.641, I ask to close Facebook and the moon
Lol, Nixon and Clinton didn't have 'absolute immunity,' why should the idiot?
Off with his head. No one is above the law.
It’s almost like he’s hiding stuff.
He’s above Law clearly so are his friends they are untouchable....!!One day they will answer
