Trump Not Immune from Prosecution in Election Interference Case, Federal Appeals Court Rules

2024-02-06 89

A federal appeals court unanimously ruled that former President Donald Trump does not have immunity from prosecution related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The ruling stems from the criminal election interference case being prosecuted by special counsel Jack Smith in D.C. federal court. Trump is charged with four counts including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and obstruct an official proceeding. The court rejected Trump's arguments that he has "absolute immunity" from prosecution due to his actions occurring while president.
