Sen. Duckworth Criticizes Delay in Trump's Election Subversion Trial

Senator Duckworth believes Trump is abusing the concept of presidential immunity.

In a recent interview, Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois shared her deep disturbance over the news that a federal judge will delay the federal election subversion trial while former President Trump's appeals over presidential immunity play out, potentially all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court. Duckworth called out the Supreme Court's lean towards the far-right, expressing concern that it might not follow precedent and may favor Trump.

The Senator spoke passionately about the recent decision by the Supreme Court to hear the abortion medication case to decide whether to restrict mithopristone nationwide. She asserted robustly that every American should be able to access medication in a manner that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determines is safe and effective. The Senator emphasized that judge's lack of medical expertise makes them unqualified to make decisions concerning women's welfare, health, and well-being.
