The Trump administration’s bias is polluting the integrity of the intelligence community and damaging the nation’s security

After a Pennsylvania court granted Trump presidential immunity in a civil case, a conservative commenter claimed in a widely circulated YouTube video that Trump had “absolute immunity” from being prosecuted. CERL’s Prof. Claire Finkelstein is quoted in USA Today explaining why this claim is misinformed.

Claire Finkelstein is the Algernon Biddle Professor of Law and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania. She is also the founder and faculty director of the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law (CERL). Read her bio here.
