Trump's Immunity Appeal: A Last-Ditch Effort to Delay Election Trial
TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump is appealing a ruling that denied his claim of immunity from prosecution related to his actions as president, in an effort to delay his upcoming trial on federal election subversion charges. Legal experts believe that Trump's appeal could potentially bog down the system and keep him free to campaign against President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. The outcome of the appeal and subsequent court proceedings will determine whether Trump faces trial before the election, as he faces multiple criminal prosecutions. If Trump regains the presidency, he could potentially pardon himself or shut down the federal cases.
