Donald Trump is seeking to dismiss a federal election interference case against him by arguing that he is immune from criminal prosecution for actions taken while in office.
However, legal precedent and the principle that no one is above the law suggest otherwise.
The Supreme Court’s decision to wait for the D.C. Circuit to rule on the case could be bad news for Trump, as it may result in the D.C. Circuit concluding that he is not immune from criminal prosecution.
“Whatever immunities a sitting President may enjoy,” ruled U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, “that position does not confer a lifelong ‘get-out-of-jail-free’ pass.”
The D.C. Circuit will hear oral arguments in the case on Jan. 9.
