DC Circuit rejects President Trump's claim of immunity from prosecution

The DC Circuit unanimously rejected President Trump's arguments that he is immune from prosecution. The court held that former President Trump, now a private citizen, is subject to criminal accountability and does not enjoy executive immunity. The opinion emphasized that no one in the country is above the law, including former presidents, and that criminal proceedings against Trump must proceed. The court also noted that impeachment acquittals are often unrelated to factual innocence, undermining the argument that impeachment judgments preclude criminal prosecution.
