Napolitano to Newsmax: SCOTUS Could Allow Partial Immunity for Trump

Napolitano said that if the acts are deemed to be personal, then a jury will need to decide if the actions leading up to and after the Jan. 6, 2021 events at the U.S. Capitol were criminal and if he can be prosecuted through charges brought by special counsel Jack Smith.
