Chris Hayes says the Donald Trump must stand trial for election interference because «American voters actually deserve the knowledge in either direction»
The Supreme Court on Wednesday announced it will decide whether or not Donald Trump can claim presidential immunity from charges of interfering with the 2020 election, but that it will not hear arguments in the case until April 22 — a delay that Chris Hayes decried on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” As he put it, “every day you cross through in red, you are doing Trump a favor. You are helping Donald Trump.”
“I personally think Donald Trump is bad and unfit for office,” Hayes explained. “And I think he should stand trial. American voters actually deserve the knowledge in either direction. If the man is acquitted, if he’s found not guilty of an incredibly grave crime — American voters deserve to know that as well, one way or the other.”
“The American public is owed as a fundamental public interest, as a democratic self-interest, to know whether in a court of law judged by a jury of his peers under full constitutional due process, the man is guilty or not of the greatest political crime of any man in history since the Civil War,” Hayes continued.
“Everyone here knows the score, but I cannot stress this enough. It’s like, I saw the news about this order, right? And it’s like, ‘oh, they’re going to hear the immunity case.
