"Trump's Presidential Immunity: Legal Battles and Consequences"

Donald Trump is set to appear in federal court as an appeals court hears arguments on whether he is immune from prosecution for allegedly plotting to overturn the 2020 election results. The outcome of the arguments could have significant implications for the criminal case against Trump and the broader question of whether an ex-president can be prosecuted for actions taken while in office. Trump's lawyers argue for immunity, while prosecutors assert that no former president has ever been indicted, and courts have never addressed whether protection extends to criminal prosecution. The case is being argued before a panel of judges, and a swift decision is crucial as the trial is scheduled to start in March.
