Trump's Argument for Immunity in Federal Indictment Case
The federal indictment against former President Trump relates to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump filed a motion asserting immunity from criminal prosecution for his official acts as president, but the trial judge ruled against him, stating that he is responsible for criminal conduct if it can be proven. Trump appealed to a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, arguing for absolute immunity through his lawyer, John Sauer.
