Fox News Legal Editor Kerri Kupec Urbahn faced criticism from legal experts on social media due to her portrayal of a three-judge panel’s response to Donald Trump’s appeal following District Judge Tanya Chutkan’s denial of his claim of presidential immunity.
After the hearing, Urbahn told Harris Faulkner that she believed the judges were skeptical of the arguments presented by the Department of Justice and ‘they were concerned about the precedent that they would set if they said a president is not immune from prosecution for acts conducted during office.’
However, this depiction faced significant backlash on social media.
Former FBI Agent and legal commentator Asha Rangappa responded with, ‘Uhhh, what argument was she listening to???’
National Security Lawyer Bradley Moss questioned, ‘Is it a requirement over there to just straight up lie to your audience?’
MeidasTouch Editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski remarked, ‘This person is either lying to the lemmings in the Fox audience or just stupid.’
