We are joined by Bloomberg News Senior 225 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 2: editor Bill Ferries. Bill, good morning. So where does this 226 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 2: decision leave the case now for President Electrump? 227 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 11: Well, good morning, Nathan. I mean it does leave it 228 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 11: in still a bit of a limbo. I mean Judge 229 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 11: Judge Murchon here in New York saying that basically the 230 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 11: immunity argument that Donald Trump and his lawyers have put 231 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 11: forward in this case really doesn't apply to this situation. 232 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 11: I mean, this is you know, you have to remember 233 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 11: back now it's almost eight years. This goes back to 234 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 11: the Stormy Daniel's case in the twenty sixteen election campaign. 235 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 11: Mrchon basically saying, none of the rulins from the Supreme 236 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 11: Court that deal with Donald Trump's immunity as president have 237 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 11: any bearing here. But the reality is that the you know, 238 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 11: the sentence is probably not going to happen or it's 239 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 11: going to be a lot of questions about whether he 240 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 11: could face even a fine at this point, which was 241 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 11: kind of the most likely scenario. So that's something that's 242 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 11: still going to play out. But it is a legal 243 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 11: setback for the president. It shows that there are some 244 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 11: limits to that immunity ruling that we got earlier this year. 245 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't seem like that legal cloud was much 246 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 2: of an impact for the President to elect. As he 247 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 2: held this wide ranging news conference at Amara Lago yesterday, 248 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 2: he really seemed to relish the President in waiting role. 249 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 11: Oh absolutely, I was putting down a list of everything 250 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 11: he hid in that. Besides, you know, there's TikTok and 251 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 11: return to office investments in the US pardons potentially for 252 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 11: the New York mayor the Iowa Polster. Going after that, 253 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 11: I mean, it was drones in New Jersey. I mean, 254 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 11: you can almost throw a dart at aboard and you'll 255 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 11: hit an issue that he raised there, But particularly of 256 00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 11: interest was Ukraine and how his view that needs to 257 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 11: come to an end very quickly. Was very dismissive of 258 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 11: the idea that the US has allowed Ukraine to hit 259 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 11: targets deep within Russia, and he said there's got to 260 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 11: be a deal soon. 261 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 2: Well you have to wonder though, whether there's going to 262 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 2: be a deal with this latest development just this morning 263 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 2: that Ukraine's claiming responsibility for the assassination of a top 264 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 2: Russian general in Moscow. 265 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 11: Bill, Yeah, we're looking at still all just breaking in 266 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 11: the last hour or so, Ukraine's saying that it was 267 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 11: behind the killing of this lieutenant general who helped oversee 268 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 11: Russia's radiological, chemical and biological defense forces in an explosion 269 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 11: in Moscow early. We don't know what the ramifications of 270 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 11: that are going to be, how Putin might respond, but 271 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 11: it's certainly a sign that continues to be ways for 272 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 11: both sides to escalate in this conflict. 273 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 274 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 275 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 276 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 2: Easter each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 277 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 278 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,839 Speaker 1: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 279 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 280 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 281 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: XM Channel one twenty one. 282 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 2: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 283 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 2: now with Apple CarPlay and Android Atto interfaces, And. 284 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: Don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
