In their Wall Street Journal opinion piece, David B. Rivkin Jr. and Elizabeth Price Foley write: “Many observers thought the Supreme Court would decline to consider Donald Trump’s claim that presidential immunity shields him from prosecution for his conduct on Jan. 6, 2021. But on Wednesday the justices announced that they will hear the former president’s case in April. Mr. Trump could eventually face a trial on those charges, but the justices had little choice but to take up this question because the lower court’s ruling was so sweeping and dangerous. Mr. Trump claims that his allegedly criminal actions were ‘official acts’ taken as president. The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia held that it didn’t matter if they were—that no president is entitled to immunity from ‘generally applicable criminal laws.’ That decision violates the separation of powers, threatens the independence and vigor of the presidency, and is inconsistent with Supreme Court precedent.” Rivkin served in the Justice Department during the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush Administrations. Foley is a constitutional law professor at Florida University.

Ryan Saavedra of The Daily Wire writes: “Calls are growing in Sacramento for a criminal investigation to be launched into California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom after an explosive story published this week said that Newsom created an unusual special carveout in a piece of legislation that benefited one of his top donors. Bloomberg News reported that billionaire Greg Flynn was getting a “new boost” after his chain of Panera Bread locations were exempted from a new law that forces fast food restaurants to increase their minimum wage from $16 to $20 per hour. Flynn is the largest ‘restaurant franchisee in the US, if not the world,’ the report added. Panera Bread was spared from the law because it offered ‘unusual exemption for chains that bake bread and sell it as a standalone item.’ The report states that Newsom ‘pushed for that break.’” You can read the full report here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/calls-grow-for-fbi-to-launch-criminal-investigation-into-gavin-newsom-over-alleged-corruption-scandal
