00:00:08.980 on whether President Donald Trump is immune from federal prosecution
00:00:13.260 for alleged crimes committed while he was president.
00:00:16.940 In what appears to be an effort to speed the case along,
00:00:19.960 Smith went directly to the Supreme Court for a ruling on the issue
00:00:23.400 rather than go to the appellate court for a ruling that would bear on the Special Counsel's
00:00:28.800 for count indictment of President Trump.
00:00:31.040 And it looks like an effort to get a ruling that would keep the trial date at March 4th,
00:00:36.440 which is the day before the Super Tuesday primaries.

00:01:09.080 that has cost Harvard its reputation and reportedly a billion dollars in donations.
00:01:14.960 Gay is also accused of plagiarizing her doctoral thesis,
00:01:18.740 ousting a law school professor for representing Harvey Weinstein,
