Trump's Claim of Immunity in Criminal Prosecution Faces Skepticism At Federal Appeals Court

Donald Trump's claim of immunity from criminal prosecution regarding his actions to overturn the 2020 election results faced skepticism from a federal appeals court, which hinted at a possible rejection of his defense. Trump's lawyer claimed prosecuting a president for official acts would undermine the presidency, but judges noted Trump conceded presidents can be prosecuted post-impeachment. The judges questioned whether they should issue a broad ruling against presidential immunity or take a narrower approach focused on Trump's specific charges.
