On Thursday, the United States Supreme Court heard arguments on whether Donald Trump is immune from prosecution in the alleged election interference case, which was put on hold in February.
Thursday morning, Trump told reporters, "A president has to have immunity," the Associated Press reported.
"If you don't have immunity, you just have a ceremonial president," he added.
The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case and consider "whether and if so to what extent does a former President enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office."
