TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump's legal team has submitted their final written request to a federal appeals court, arguing for Trump's immunity in a case related to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. American Oversight, a nonprofit watchdog, filed an amicus brief opposing the appeal, arguing that the appellate court lacks jurisdiction. Trump's lawyers claim constitutional immunity for his actions while in office, a stance previously rejected by a district court. The case is currently on hold pending the appeal, with oral arguments scheduled for January 9. Trump's attorney declined to comment on the proceedings.
