NEW: It is a major court day for Donald Trump as he returns to the Manhattan courtroom for the hush-money trial while the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments over whether Trump is immune from prosecution.
NY TRIAL: On Day 6 of the hush-money trial, prosecutors continued questioning their witness, David pe**er, over the deal he helped broker with the adult film star.
DC SUPREME COURT: Meantime, The Supreme Court is hearing arguments in the blockbuster case over whether Trump can claim immunity in his federal cases. Trump’s argument is that the alleged crimes he is accused of were part of his official acts as president.
The justices, from expert analysts, seem skeptical of a full immunity claim but some justices seem to suggest that the president might have limited immunity. They could also punt back the decision with some instructions on what qualifies as immunity to the lower courts to sort out.
That would push the federal trials past the November election. A decision is expected by the end of June.
