Best Chicago Criminal Defense Lawyer discusses Trump immunity case, Snyder decision, and January 6 cases on WGN’s “Let’s Get Legal.” Michael Leonard appeared on WGN Radio on Saturday July 6, along with host Jon Hansen. The two took a deep dive into the United States Supreme Court’s recent decision in Snyder, a case in which the Court interpreted the federal “666” bribery statute. In short, the Court was tasked with determining whether the statute is really a bribery statute, or whether it also covers “gratuities” given to State and local officials, after the fact, for their official actions.

In addition, Mike and Jon take close look at the Supreme Court’s recent immunity decision in the Trump litigation. They discuss the concept and application of the Court’s findings, including absolute immunity, presumptive immunity, and official and unofficial acts. The decision is sure to far-reaching consequences. Moreover, in the short term, the Court’s ruling will substantially impact the pending cases against former President Trump.

Finally, Mike and Jon discuss the January 6 federal prosecutions in Washington, D.C. Mike recently attended a hearing in one of them on behalf of his client. Mike responds to Jon’s many inquiries about the January 6 cases.
