I Turned In My Insurrectionist Dad—How Can Trump Be Immune?

Jackson Reffitt could not believe what he was hearing.

Reffitt, 21, of Wylie, Texas, had just been told by The Daily Beast that the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled the president is largely immune from prosecution—a new power that may include absolving Donald Trump’s incitement of those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Among the insurrectionists was Jackson’s father, Guy, who was sentenced to 81 months in federal prison for his actions that day.
