Trump's Argument for Immunity from Prosecution

Trump argues that as a former president, he should be immune from prosecution for his actions after the 2020 election. His defense team contends that his immunity, similar to civil immunity granted to government officials, should extend to criminal proceedings, allowing him to evade charges related to conspiracy and obstruction of official proceedings.
