A three-judge panel in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit heard arguments regarding former President Donald Trump’s claim of immunity from prosecution related to the 2020 election.
Trump faces charges including conspiracy and obstruction, arguing that his actions were part of his official duties.
“I think it’s very unfair when an opponent, a political opponent, is prosecuted. They’re losing in every poll, they’re losing in almost every demographic,” Trump said. (Trending: First Moon Mission In 50 Years Blasts Off)

The case’s outcome will have significant implications for the criminal case against Trump and the broader issue of whether a former president can face charges for actions taken while in office.
Trump’s legal team aims to delay the trial, potentially until after the election.
The case involves a complex debate over presidential immunity and the potential consequences for the democratic system.
“The former president’s immunity from criminal prosecution would be especially dangerous in this case because he is alleged to have engaged in criminal conduct to stay in office beyond his term by overturning the results of the presidential election,” Jack Smith’s team wrote.
