Trump's Nominee for Solicitor General is D John Sauer John Sauer, a lawyer arguing Donald Trump's presidential immunity case, generated significant controversy when he asserted, in response to a judge's hypothetical, that a president could not be prosecuted if he were to order the assassination of a political rival -- unless he were first impeached and convicted.
The former solicitor general of Missouri, Sauer is no stranger to the Supreme Court, nor is he a stranger to controversy. Sauer filed many briefs before the high court in his role with the Missouri attorney general's office " including one pressing justices to toss out the 2020 election results in key swing states. As solicitor general, Sauer was also involved with an anti-abortion case that created a national firestorm, after Missouri's top health official acknowledged his agency had put together a spreadsheet tracking Planned Parenthood patients' menstrual cycles.
