Alina Habba, attorney for former President Donald Trump, told NTD’s “Capitol Report” host Steve Lance that the former president should legally be protected from several of the cases he now faces due to presidential immunity.

“The president should be immune whenever he is acting in his capacity from the Oval Office, from the White House, on the front lawn, and he should have immunity for any basic act that’s within the scope of his employment,” Ms. Habba said in an interview that will air 5 p.m. ET on Dec. 19.

Steve Lance is the host of Capitol Report, a political news show based in Washington aimed at providing a direct channel to the voices and people who shape policy in America. Capitol Report features all of the political news of the day with expert interviews and analysis.
