Former Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday he is concerned that the Supreme Court will come to a “dangerous” conclusion on former President Trump’s claim of presidential immunity, partly because it has taken time for the justices to reveal their decision.
Trump has made the immunity claim on charges related to the federal cases he faces on storing classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida and related to the 2020 election and the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
A decision from the Supreme Court is expected before the end of the month.
In an interview on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House” with host Nicolle Wallace, the former attorney general to President Obama suggested some justices could argue Trump is allowed to violate criminal law if he did so in his official role as president.
