Trump's Team 'Literally Popping Champagne' Over Supreme Court Taking Up Immunity Claim
The former president is now highly unlikely to stand trial in the Justice Department's election interference case before November
The Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a massive victory on Wednesday by agreeing to rule on whether he is immune from prosecution for acts committed while he was president. The court will hear arguments on April 22 and won’t hand down a decision until June — which means it’s unlikely a trial in the Justice Department’s election interference case will commence before the election. If Trump wins the election, he’ll of course appoint an attorney general who will toss the case, regardless of how the Supreme Court rules this summer.
By Wednesday night, Trumpland was celebrating.
“Literally popping champagne right now,” a lawyer close to Donald Trump told Rolling Stone late on Wednesday.
They don't have the money for champagne.
Sure they do, the RNC is likely buying it.
The RNC has only 8.7 millions in bank.
Your Grandma just sent him $50
Do they even have enough to pay for the national convention this year?
Edit: according to this:

Their fundraising in 2016 netted $65.7M to cover RNC costs. This could get interesting.
I don't know how much you think champagne costs, but it's significantly less than 8.7 million dollars.
Even on a lower $4.35 million budget, why spend half of your money on a bottle of champagne?
