REP LIEU STATEMENT ON SCOTUS DECISION ON PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY

WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) issued the following statement on the Supreme Court's broad decision giving President Trump immunity from prosecution on all official acts. Congressman Lieu previously served as an Impeachment Manager for the second impeachment of Donald Trump.

“When Donald Trump was president, he appointed three Supreme Court justices. When Donald Trump lost the election, he undertook a massive effort to overturn those results to stay in power. When Donald Trump was indicted for trying to subvert the will of the people, those three justices he appointed ruled he’s immune from prosecution. The words 'presidential immunity' do not exist in the Constitution. An extremist President appointed extremist justices to execute an extremist agenda.”
