CNN—Graham: No absolute immunity for president in Constitution. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham tells CNN’s Dana Bash that the Supreme Court will send Trump’s January 6 case “back to the lower courts to find out exactly what actions fall within presidential immunity and what are considered personal.”
POLITICO—McConnell continues to break with Trump on immunity claims. "Obviously, it'll be up to the Supreme Court to decide whether I was correct," he said.
POLITICO—McConnell: Leave handling of protests to college presidents. “What needs to happen, at least at the beginning, is these university presidents need to get control of the situation," the Republican leader said.
