Trump Lawyer Undercuts Trump's 'Immunity' Claim With Bizarre Biden Threat

After a three-judge panel heard arguments about Donald Trump's presidential immunity defense, Trump lawyer John Lauro bizarrely threatened Biden with prosecution.

Former Republican President Donald Trump's legal team argued in court on Tuesday that their client had absolute immunity from criminal prosecutions.

While talking with reporters after their appeals court hearing, Trump lawyer John Lauro warned that Democratic President Joe Biden could be prosecuted because the Department of Justice during his presidency brought criminal charges against Trump.


Lauro told the gathered press:

"We can't have a country where every four years there is a cycle of political recrimination where one administration attacks a prior administration, when in fact that candidate is leading in the polls and will be the next president of the United States."
"As our legal team, and our appellant team, made clear, that would be a disaster for our country, and direct attack on democracy and that cannot happen."
"In fact, Joe Biden could be prosecuted for trying to stop this man from becoming the next President of the United States."
"We don't need political prosecutions."

However, Lauro ignored facts to make his argument.

A bipartisan House Select Committee investigated the January 6th insurrection at the United States Capitol—not the Biden administration. Based on J6 Committee findings, the House of Representatives made a criminal referral to the Justice Department against Trump.

There has been no evidence President Biden demanded the federal prosecution of Trump or participated in criminal investigations in any way. Trump's legal team—as with most of Trump's claims—failed to provide any evidence of President Biden's involvement before or after Lauro's remarks.

Lauro also undercut his own legal strategy.

Trump's lawyer suggested President Biden could be charged and prosecuted when he leaves office for actions taken by a federal agency when he was President, contradicting the Trump team's entire absolute presidential immunity claim.

As with other unsupported Trump claims, most people aren’t buying what Lauro is selling.





Some speculated the entire Trump team legal strategy was focused on making their client happy, not any legally sound arguments.












In his own remarks to the press, Trump stated:

“What a sad situation it is."
"I want to thank you, everybody, for the fairness. We’ve been covered very fairly."

Trump added:

"Most people agree that we’re entitled, as a President, to immunity."

Which is yet another Trump claim made without evidence.

Court watchers universally observed the three-judge panel overseeing today's arguments were quite skeptical of the absolute immunity argument made by Trump's legal team.

Woman Goes Viral After Cramming Carry-On Luggage Into Size Checker To Prove It Fits

Let's be honest: traveling, and particularly flying, is very expensive these days, and it's important to save money wherever you can. A key way to save money is to book a cheaper class on the flight, and to only take a carry-on, rather than checking a bag, if you're able to.

TikToker @summermken_official shared a video of a woman who was willing to commit to that while in Paris. She approached a size-checking station for Vueling Airlines with a sign that read, "Does your cabin luggage fit here?" It was a metal frame in the shape of a rectangle, emulating the largest size that a piece of carry-on luggage could be.

Pilot Reveals What Actually Happens If You Don't Switch Your Phone To Airplane Mode

If you've ever taken a flight, you might have wondered what the big deal was about switching your phone to "airplane mode" before the airplane took off—and if you didn't, if you could really be responsible for that giant, metal bird falling out of the sky.

According to pilot and TikToker @pilotperch, you indeed will not cause the airplane to fall out of the sky, or for the machinery of the aircraft to warp and malfunction, but your phone not being in airplane mode could still cause problems for the pilot, their copilot, and their dispatch team on the ground.
