Republican support for Trump immunity claims lower than Colorado ballot case – By Ray Bogan (Straight Arrow News) / April 3, 2024

Republican support for Donald Trump’s presidential immunity case is far lower than it was for his Colorado presidential ballot case. That’s according to amicus briefs filed with the Supreme Court.

Two senators and 26 representatives, all Republicans, signed on to amicus briefs supporting Trump’s claim that he’s immune from prosecution for actions he took as president. The signees include some of Trump’s most loyal supporters including Reps. Byron Donalds, Fla., Lauren Boebert, Colo., and Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ga.

The amount of support is a significant drop from the 42 senators and 136 representatives who signed on to support Trump in the Colorado ballot case. In addition, the ballot case included every member of leadership from both chambers; only one member of leadership signed on to the immunity briefs.

No federally elected officials filed an amicus brief opposing Trump’s immunity claim.
