Episode 730: No Immunity for Trump; Who will be VP for GOP?; Document Case Update

This week on Ring of Fire!


The DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a unanimous decision on
Tuesday that Donald Trump does NOT have immunity from
prosecution, and therefore the election subversion case against
him can, and will, go to trial. But that doesn't mean that the
immunity fight is over. Trump still has the option to appeal the
ruling to the Supreme Court, which has already been put into
motion. But the Appeals Court's ruling might be written in a way
that already bypasses the Supreme Court.


During an interview with Fox News this week, Kellyanne Conway was
asked about Donald Trump's potential vice presidential picks, and
she may have let it slip who Trump is leaning towards. After
rattling off a few names, Conway then focused in on Republican
Senator Tim Scott, praising him for dropping out and actively
campaigning for Trump before adding that he "checks all of the
boxes." That's not really the case, but if Trump thinks so then
he's likely made his pick already.


Jack Smith spent 15 pages of a new court filing debunking the
lies that Donald Trump has been telling about the charges against
him in the documents case. Trump has claimed repeatedly -
including in court filings - that he was allowed to take the
documents and that he had been given special security clearances
to do so. Smith argued that this actually never happened, and
claimed that Trump's statements to the contrary were provably
false.


Jim Jordan's House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed Fulton
County DA Fani Willis (again). This time, Jordan is seeking
information about how Fulton County used a federal grant from the
Department of Justice, as well as answers about an alleged
whistleblower who claims that they were demoted after pointing
out the misuse of federal funds by a district employee.
Additionally, Willis came out over the weekend and admitted to
having a romantic relationship with her fellow prosecutor.


All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!
