Judges Question Trump’s Claim of Immunity in Court; Future Impact on US Presidency at Stake
In a crucial case, judges challenged Donald Trump’s argument that ex-presidents are immune from prosecution.
Trump’s lawyers argue his time in office shields him from charges related to alleged election interference. The justice department counters, stating the presidency isn’t above the law.
The decision, likely heading to the Supreme Court, may affect the presidency’s limits. Trump insists on political persecution.
The case’s outcome might delay his trial during the 2024 campaign. Critics fear a ruling could impact future presidents’ accountability.
