Donald Trump Demands U.S. Court of Appeals Toss Federal Election Interference Case, Citing Presidential Immunity

Former President Donald Trump is facing a federal election interference case and has demanded that the D.C. Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals toss the case, arguing that presidential immunity protects him from prosecution. His lawyers have argued that no President, current or former, can be criminally prosecuted for official acts without first being impeached and convicted by the Senate. They also argued that Trump was acting within his role as President when he pressed claims about the 2020 election. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and the court will decide whether he can successfully argue his immunity.
