Federal Appeals Court Rejects Trump's Claim of Immunity

A federal appeals court has rejected Donald Trump's claim of absolute immunity in a criminal indictment accusing him of plotting to overturn the 2020 election. The court ruled that he is subject to federal criminal law like any other American and must stand trial.

Trump is expected to appeal to the Supreme Court. This ruling is a significant defeat for Trump, as it addresses the question of whether former presidents can be held accountable for actions taken while in office.

If the Supreme Court declines to hear the case or takes its time, a trial could begin before or after the November election. This decision comes after another recent ruling that rejected Trump's immunity arguments, affirming that he can be prosecuted for actions taken while in office and leading up to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.
