D.C. Circuit Court Rejects Trump's Immunity Claim

The court's unanimous decision undermines Trump's defense against federal and state prosecutions for alleged election interference.

On Tuesday, the D.C. Circuit decisively rejected former President Donald Trump’s claim of absolute presidential immunity.
The ruling affirms the principle that no one is above the law, including former presidents.
Trump's arguments were dismissed as lacking legal justification, with the court highlighting the dangerous consequences of granting such sweeping impunity.
The Supreme Court is expected to refuse to consider Trump's appeal, given the clear lack of controversy over the issue of presidential immunity.
The decision allows for the continuation of legal proceedings against Trump, potentially leading to a trial over the summer.
