The Spin

Republican narrative

The case represents continued unlawful political weaponization of the justice system against Trump. This lawfare violates established legal precedent on immunity and threatens the functioning of the federal government.

Democratic narrative

The court has the right to end this matter before Trump's inauguration to ensure accountability. Trump's conviction relates entirely to unofficial conduct that occurred before he took office and poses no danger to his authority or the SCOTUS immunity ruling.
