Former President Donald Trump’s attorney on Tuesday argued that a president could order the assassination of his political rival and couldn’t be prosecuted for it — unless Congress impeached and convicted that commander in chief first.
Trump’s lawyer made the argument in a contentious appeals-court hearing Tuesday in the special counsel Jack Smith’s election-interference case against the former president.
