DOJ Rejects Trump's Immunity Claims in Election Case

TL;DR Summary
The Justice Department has urged a judge to reject former President Donald Trump's attempt to dismiss the federal election interference case against him, asserting that "no one is above the law." Trump's legal team argued for presidential immunity, but prosecutors argued that such immunity is temporary and does not extend to a former president. They warned that granting immunity would undermine accountability and shield presidents who commit crimes. Trump faces criminal charges in multiple jurisdictions, and his legal problems may reflect his unprecedented behavior.
