Appeals Court Rejects Trump's Claim of Immunity

In a major setback for former President Donald Trump, a panel of appeals court judges unanimously rejected his claim of immunity from criminal charges related to undermining the 2020 election. The ruling establishes that there is no complete presidential immunity, and once a president leaves office, they are subject to prosecution like any other citizen. The court emphasized that the office of the presidency does not place its former occupants above the law. Trump's trial, initially scheduled for March 4th, has been postponed indefinitely and is now expected to be heard this year. Trump intends to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
