Is evidence of motive inadmissible for the purposes of habeas, or just for the purpose of criminal prosecution of presidents and ex-presidents? I am not saying I have a lot of faith SCOTUS would not expand the principle, but I understood they had not done so yet.

We were talking about this in some of the other replies. The reasoning of Harlow/Trump hinges on the effect of the president's awareness that sensitive discussions could be scrutinized, but as @adambonin.bsky.social points out Roberts introduces that with language referencing criminal prosecution.
