Trump's Legal Showdown: Fighting for Immunity in Election Interference Case! 🚫🗳️ | WION GLOW

Donald Trump's lawyers are actively pursuing an immunity claim in a federal election interference case filed in Washington DC.

Trump argues that he is protected under presidential immunity, asserting that his actions undermining the 2020 election result were performed in his official capacity as president to ensure election integrity.

The Supreme Court recently declined a request by special counsel Jack Smith to take up Trump's argument regarding immunity from criminal prosecution.

Trump's legal filing maintains that the indictment against him is unconstitutional, contending that presidents cannot be criminally prosecuted for official acts unless they are impeached and convicted by the Senate.

The former president is facing four felony counts related to a conspiracy to defraud the US and obstruct the certification of votes on January 6. Despite attempts to delay the trial, the judge overseeing the case has rejected Trump's immunity claims, emphasizing that the position of chief executive does not provide lifelong immunity from legal consequences.
