"Legal Opinion Rejects Trump's Claim of Absolute Immunity"

Donald Trump's lawyers plan to argue for presidential immunity in his classified documents case, despite a federal appeals panel rejecting this claim in his federal election interference case. The panel ruled that Trump can face trial on charges related to overturning the 2020 election results, stating that he is now a regular citizen with no executive immunity. Trump's team intends to appeal, potentially delaying the case, and has filed a motion indicating they will argue for presidential immunity in another case involving hoarding classified documents. Despite Trump's plea of not guilty and claims of politically motivated charges, the legal battles continue as he seeks to reclaim the White House in 2024.
