Trump's DOJ challenges Wisconsin judge's immunity claim

rawstory.com

The Justice Department under President Trump has rebuked Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan's claim of immunity in her criminal case. Prosecutors rejected her defense, arguing it contradicts established legal precedent. Dugan cited the Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v. United States to support her immunity claim. The DOJ argued that Dugan's interpretation would allow judges to interfere with law enforcement. Dugan is charged with aiding the attempted escape of a suspect from federal agents. Some legal experts question the merit of the government's case, citing the location of the "jury door."
