TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump argued for immunity from prosecution by evoking the dropping of atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, claiming that presidents should have total immunity even for acts that "cross the line." He has pleaded not guilty to charges related to the 2020 election and the Capitol riot, and his trial is scheduled to begin on March 4. Legal experts have expressed skepticism about his immunity argument, with some pointing out that it doesn't make sense and that there are limits to presidential immunity.
