Jesse i could use water, too. Thank you. Bret gogood evening. Im bret baier, breaking tonight. The u. S. Supreme court will decide whether former President Donald Trump has immunity from prosecution in the Special Counsels federal election interference case. Now, this means the justices will decide a huge Election Year dispute that will have blockbuster legal and political implications for the nation. And for the upcoming election, obviously. Fox news chief Legal Correspondent anchor of Fox News Sunday Shannon Bream is here with the breaking details. Good evening, shannon. Shannon hello, bret. Well, tonight, this is a big win for the trump team in the sense that it delays the federal criminal trial that Special Counsel jack smith had originally pushed to start marc. After a loss at the d. C. Circuit, which issued a Sweeping Decision Ruling against President Trump on this issue of immunity, we have been standing by to see whether the Supreme Court would actually get involved. Well, todays order puts the Immunity Issue fast track with the high court with the justices limiting the questions to this. Whether and if so to what extent does a former president enjoy president ial immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office . The order provides no indication of how any justice voted on whether or not to hear the case. But, makes clear the court is, quote not expressing a view on the merits of the issue just yet. Arguments will be held the week of april 22nd. A decision is most likely to come toward the end of the courts term in late june. Until the Supreme Court makes a decision all the activity at the Trial Court Level is on hold that means only once the high court does ultimately rule will all the pretrial motions and discovery will resume. Should the trump team be on the losing end of a decision at the Supreme Court, it is sure to argue it needs several weeks, it not months to gear up of the criminal trial. Pushing the start to late summer and early fall. Also in april, keep in mind, the Supreme Court will hear arguments from a january 6th defendant who is challenging whether the doj improperly charged him with obstruction of an official proceeding. Now, President Trump is also facing that same ch if the justs decide improperly applied to defendants. Its possible that part of jack smiths case against the president could be gone as well. Bret . Bret shannon, this sowble massive for the election. If, as expected, the former president becomes the republican nominee. Meantime, there are also deciding at the Supreme Court about the ballot in colorado. And all of that comes together to a head, right . Shannon yeah. We are still waiting. We could get that decision at any time about whether or not colorado and by de facto any other state has the ability to keep the president , the former president off the ballot. We would expect that sooner rather than later, but we are standing by because we know that dozens of states have considered taking that same move. Bret fascinating. Thank you so much, shannon. We will have analysis for fox news chief political analyst brit hume and George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turley on the legal and the political in just moments. A new york Appellate Judge is refusing to halt collection of former President Trumps 454 million civil fraud penalty while he appeals. The judge rejecting the former president s request that he be allowed to post a bond covering just a fraction of what he owes. The judge did grant some of the former president s request, including pausing a threeyear ban on him seeking loans from new york banks. Which would help him secure the necessary bond. President biden and his team going on the offensive today against republicans over the border crisis. And against anyone else who is disparaging his age and competence. The president s doctor insists he is fit to serve while critics note one test that did not make the list in that physical. White house correspondent Jacqui Heinrich has details tonight from the north lawn. Good evening, jacqui. Good evening, brett. The president s health, according to his doctors has not changed since last year. The arthritis in the right hip mildly worse which effects his gate there arent any new issues according to this readout. Still, he did not undergo one exam that could have helped him politically. According to his doctor, the president , quote continues to be fit for duty and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations. A positive readout for the 81yearold who was portrayed as suffering mental decline by the Special Counsel who investigated his handling of classified documents. But biden did not seize the chance to shut down voter concerns about his age by undergoing a cognitive exam. According to the white house his doctors dont think he needs one. The folks need to understand the president passes a Cognitive Test every day. He is able to do the work every day that is rigorous, that is more rigorous than it would be for any 15minute clinical appointment. Tomorrow biden will travel to the border. A trip he resisted for his first two years in office but is seizing on now to make hay of republicans rejecting the Bipartisan Senate bill that was endorsed by the Border Patrol union. We believe we are on the offense because we did the work with the senate in a bipartisan way for four months. And republicans rejected it. They allowed politics to get in the way. But the sector biden is visiting is among the slowest for illegal crossings, averaging only 17 day for the month of february, according to cbp. Officials here say that doesnt matter. This administration has often criticized republicans when they go to the border and hold Similar Press conferences and saying they are doing Publicity Stunts and photo ops. How is this any different . Oh, its very different. Whether a House Republicans have done is nothing. Absolutely nothing if anything they can simply get in the way. The president is not expected to issue any Executive Orders while he is in texas. His critics have called for him to reenact trump era policy thats rescinded at the beginning of his administration. But, for now, he is just taking the moment to redirect all this heat on immigration toward the g. O. P. There is one big shift we can report. The white house is now calling for Sanctuary Cities to cooperate with ice. Amid furor over crimes committed by migrants. As a candidate in 2020, the president when asked if local police should turn over migrants who are arrested, to immigration authorities his answer was no, bret. Bret Jacqui Heinrich live at the north lawn. Jacqui, thank you. As mentioned there for the third and fourth time this week, we are telling you about an illegal immigrant arrested in connection with a brutal crime. Tonight a sauber done migrant detained for the murder of a 2yearold boy and honduran migrant under suspicion of raping a girl and stabbing a man with all of that here is Alexandria Hoff that. Term means Different Things to people depending on the context of the discussion. The mayor of athens, georgia, immediately slammed by Community Members after denying his city offers sanctuary protections. You are lawless protesters steal a resolution welcomed Empowered Jose Ibarra the Venezuelan National charged in laken rileys death. Mayor kelli gertz implied the 2019 policy was more about former President Trump. You had the president of the United States speaking in the most vile terms about people who were foreignborn. Other recent cases fueling National Concern outside of new orleans this weekend a 19yearold Honduran National was charged in the rape of a 14yearold at knife point. In virginia, a venezuelan man was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a 14yearold. He had been released by customs and Border Protection last year. These are the types of tragedies that they keep us up at night. They need to have the ability to deliver consequences to people that ignore laws. Closer to where those laws are made a young maryland mother is struggling. He was like the person i was holding on to to keep going with my life and now i dont have him. 2yearold son jeremy was shot and killed after he and his mom were caught in the crossfire of opposing groups. Among those charged in the shooting death, neil sen trejo, a 25yearold illegal immigrant from el salvador. Ice spokesperson told fox despite a removal order, theft arrest and immigration filings he was twice released from Prison Thanks to Montgomery County maryland policy. Like in athens, georgia, county executive mark elrich denies that the community is a sanctuary. Sanctuary city would have no list of things for which you turn people over to ice. We have a long list of things for which we turn people over to ice. Yeah, but most nonviolent crimes they are not on that list. Hence why tray whose was release from custody twice. The county revealed today it is in talks to start work morgue closely with federal immigration agents. Bret . Bret alex, thank you. Bret the president s son again denying his father had any involvement in the family business. This time up on capitol hill. Hunter biden testifying under oath today behind closed doors. That is where Congressional Correspondent Aishah Hasnie is tonight on capitol hill with the latest. Good evening, aishah. Good evening to you, bret. Well, hunter biden told fox news that the deposition went, quote, great. But he is now apparently heading back to the hill for an open public hearing. Thats according to Oversight Committee chairman james comer who is claiming that hunter biden made a lot of contradictory statements today during this deposition and that is why he wants to bring him back to the hill to publicly testify. Watch this. I think that the public hearing hopefully will clear up some discrepancies between some of the statements that were made between some of the associates and what we heard today but all in all im very optimistic, very excited about this deposition. And i look forward to releasing the transcripts as soon as both sides agree to that. So, bret, we are told that hunter answered every question at length and in detail. He did not plead the fifth today. Buff he had no comments for reporters as he left. His attorney, abbe lowell though saying this. The they have produced no evidence that would do anything to support the notion that there was any Financial Transactions that involved hunter with his father, period. There is no evidence because there is no evidence and today only confirmed that thank you. Will you come back for a public hearing . Okay. So one of the bigger questions republicans still have, bret, is what value or what experience hunter offered to foreign companies, foreign countries, other than his relationship to joe biden. And both sides gave us their own take on hunters answers today. Listen. We have asked those questions. And there is there is illusory value, there is a mirage to believe that hunter biden was engaged in International Business. This was a bribe, masquerading as an International Business transaction, nothing more, nothing less. Look, im a graduate of georgetown, i went to yale law school. He has served on multiple corporate boards. He has been involved in lots of business. And he was an expert on Corporate Governance after having worked in corporate governor mans on corporate boards. And, bret, there was also the stunning moment during the deposition when democrats say hunter biden himself suggested that lawmakers should launch an investigation into jared kushner. The son of former President Trump over his overseas business dealings. And what fox pressed democrats on that, why it appeared that hunter biden was leading them and when it came to what to investigate, what not to, representative goldman tried to counter that and say that he was just making a comparison. Breath . Bret lawmakers trying to avert a government shutdown. Word there may be a deal on that tonight . Issue issue yes, there has been a deal thats been reached house is expected to take a vote tomorrow on a shortterm Spending Bill to keep the government funded for one week next friday the new deadline. That would buy enough time to take votes punting to get time to pass a budget finally. Bret . Bret okay. Aishah hasnie live on capitol hill. Aishah, thank you. Bret also breaking tonight the longest serving Senate Leader in history is stepping aside after this year. 82yearold Minority Leader Mitch Mcconnell says this will be his last term in the senate. Senior Congressional Correspondent chad pergram has reaction tonight live from capitol hill. Good evening, chad. Bret, good evening. Mitch mcconnell Led Senate Republicans in the majority and minority since 2007. But several factors worked against mcconnell. His health slipped. Mcconnell froze on multiple occasions last year and he no longer controlLed Senate Republicans. Believe me, i know the politics within my party at this particular moment in time. I have many faults politics is not one of them. Mcconnell failed to get the majority of Senate Republicans to support the International Aid package two weeks ago. Josh hawley of missouri said mcconnell opened what he called a, quote guiser of Corporate Cash into american politics. Mitch mcconnell is the least popular politician in America Of Either Party [inaudible] symbol of what is wrong with washington. Mcconnell was tight with President Biden when they both served in the senate. Mcconnell even named a Cancer Research bill after the president s son beau biden in 2016.

But, father time remains undefeated. G. O. P. Will not tap a successor until november. There was concern that former President Trump wanted to oust mcconnell. Here are the names to watch.
