(Townhall) Former President Donald Trump spoke out after the Supreme Court heard arguments regarding his prosecution in special counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case against him on Thursday, calling it “monumental.”
Following the seventh day of his hush money trial in Manhattan from charges made by District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Trump spoke to reporters saying that he thinks it was “made clear” that a president “has to have immunity.”
“The U.S. Supreme Court had a monumental hearing on immunity and the immunity having to do with presidential immunity,” Trump said. “And I think it was made clear, I hope it is very clear that a president has to have immunity.”
New York Judge Juan Merchan denied Trump’s request after the former president asked if he could attend the arguments in Washington, D.C. The judge has required Trump to be present in court each day of the trial.
“I was forced to be here, and I’m glad I was because it was a very interesting day in a certain way,” Trump told reporters.
