The News Agents - USA

Has the Supreme Court given Trump the power to be a dictator?

Listen on

Episode notes

The majority decision by America's Supreme Court to grant Trump almost complete immunity from actions taken whilst in office make him - in the words of one dissenting justice, "a king above the law".

What are the implications of this ruling on Trump's future trials?

On his behaviour if he wins a second term?

And on America's trust in the highest court in the land?

Later, the Democrats find themselves, like their presidential candidate at times, frozen, in the aftermath of that TV debate. Will anyone close to Biden dare to suggest he pull out of the race? We hear from those who have come closest.
