On Tuesday, president-elect Donald Trump spoke on the phone with supreme court Justice Samuel Alito; the call came just a few hours before Trump's attorneys petitioned the supreme court to put a stop to his criminal sentencing.
Alito insists that this was all perfectly innocent... Levi, it seems, is being considered for a role as the general counsel for Trump's department of defense.
Still, Alito tells us, this is all they discussed. The fact of the president-elect's own criminal sentencing, which the supreme court will decide whether to stop or allow, was supposedly irrelevant to the call.
Alito has made no secret of his investment in the idea that Trump should be above the law... he is certain to be an ally of the Trump administration on the court.
