Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he doesn’t think presidents should be immune from criminal prosecution for their actions in office, as the Supreme Court heard arguments on the issue related to former President Trump.
Asked in a Thursday interview on NBC News’s “Meet the Press” with Kristen Welker if he believes a president is above criminal prosecution, McConnell deferred to the Supreme Court.
“Obviously, I don’t think that, but it’s not up to me to make that decision,” he said. “The president clearly needs some kind of immunity or he’d be in court all the time.”
“So, we’ll just see how the Supreme Court deals with it,” McConnell continued.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court heard nearly three hours’ worth of arguments from Trump’s lawyers about why he should be immune from criminal prosecution in a case that alleges he plotted to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
