"Trump's Unyielding Quest for Presidential Immunity Sparks Controversy"

Former President Donald Trump is standing by his assertion of "total immunity" from criminal prosecution, prompting skepticism from legal experts and pushback from Republican rival Nikki Haley. Trump's comments come as an appeals court considers his bid to dismiss a federal election interference case. The court appeared wary of Trump's arguments, which claim that a president can't be criminally prosecuted for actions taken while in office unless impeached and convicted first. The case could ultimately reach the U.S. Supreme Court, as it raises unprecedented questions about presidential immunity from criminal charges.
