Watch live: Senate Judiciary holds hearing on Supreme Court immunity ruling
The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing Tuesday morning focused on potential risks following the Supreme Court's unprecedented decision earlier this year that determined core presidential powers are immune from criminal prosecution.
The ruling was largely seen as a victory for former President Trump, who has seen significant delays in criminal proceedings following the 6-3 decision, most notably special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution against the former president for obstructing the certification of President Biden’s 2020 election victory.
Among those testifying is former federal prosecutor Philip Allen Lacovara, former U.S. Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey and a handful of legal experts.
The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
