"Analyzing Presidential Immunity: Trump's Legal Battles and Constitutional Interpretations"

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump's claim of "absolute immunity" from prosecution in his federal election interference case will be tested in arguments before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Legal experts are divided on the issue, with some citing textual evidence from the Constitution's framers that suggests no immunity for former presidents, while others argue that some of Trump's conduct may fall within the "outer perimeter" of his official duties. The case, likely to reach the U.S. Supreme Court, could have significant implications for the 2024 election.
