"Trump's Immunity Appeal Sparks Legal Debate and Scandalous Crime Speculations"

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.

"Legal Analysts Contend Trump's Immunity Defense Quickly Unravels Amid New Filings"

A group of traditional conservatives, including notable Republicans and former officials, submitted an amicus brief to the U.S. Court of Appeals arguing against the notion that former President Donald Trump has immunity from actions taken during his presidency. They base their arguments on principles of originalism, limited government, separation of powers, and the rule of law, countering Trump's claims and highlighting a stark contrast with the current direction of the GOP. The brief supports the idea that presidents are not above the law and emphasizes a return to foundational conservative values.
