Courts Reject Trump's Presidential Immunity Claims

Significant Legal Defeats Could Impact Trump's 2024 Presidential Bid

Two D.C. courts have rejected former President Donald Trump's presidential immunity claims related to January 6 and his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss.
U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that being president does not equate to a lifelong 'get-out-of-jail-free' pass.
Chutkan also dismissed Trump's argument that the case presents a violation of his First Amendment rights.
A federal appeals court in D.C. ruled that Trump could be sued in civil lawsuits related to the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.
Both rulings are seen as significant legal defeats for Trump and could have major implications for the 2024 presidential election.
