FLASHBACK: Trump's Pick For Solicitor General Argues Presidential Immunity Covers Assassinating Rivals
President-elect Donald Trump nominated Dean John Sauer to be solicitor general on Thursday. Sauer made headlines earlier in the year as he was the attorney who argued that a president could not be criminally prosecuted for ordering SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent at least not until he was impeached and convicted in the U.S. Senate.
Sauer was Trumps attorney who argued for presidential immunity for Trump in a case that went all the way to the Supreme Court and resulted in the highest court in the country granting former presidents sweeping immunity for official acts.
Most recently, John was the lead counsel representing me in the Supreme Court in Trump v. United States, winning a Historic Victory on Presidential Immunity, which was key to defeating the unConstitutional campaign of Lawfare against me and the entire MAGA Movement, Trump wrote in his announcement of Saues nomination.
If confirmed, Sauer will represent the people of the United States in front of the Supreme Court and will be one of several former personal lawyers of Trump installed at the Justice Department. He has also represented Trump in appealing several civil case verdicts, including those won by E. Jean Carroll and the state of New York.
