Supreme Court has been avoiding the issue of presidential immunity for decades: Jonathan Turley

Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley joined 'Fox & Friends' on Thursday to discuss the presidential immunity case being taken up by the Supreme Court and the upcoming ruling on whether Trump violated his gag order.

"[The Supreme Court] have been avoiding this for decades. They did have a civil case in which they did say that a president needs immunity in order to function, including in those sort of outer parameters of his office. The question is whether that also extends to criminal charges," Turley said.

Turley went on to say that the court is unlikely to side unilaterally for or against Trump's position, and they are more likely to afford some immunities to the presidency while clarifying limits.

The Supreme Court's hearing will take place in tandem with the seventh day of the New York v. Trump trial in Manhattan, where Trump is attempting to fight off 34 charges of falsifying business records. Witness testimony is expected to continue throughout the day in that case.
