"Judges Question Trump's Immunity Claims in Election Interference Case"

TL;DR Summary
A federal appeals court expressed skepticism towards Donald Trump's argument that he is immune from prosecution for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results due to actions taken as president. The court questioned the expansive view of executive power and indicated it would likely reject Trump's immunity claims. Trump's legal team aims to delay the trial rather than win the immunity argument, with the goal of potentially pushing the case beyond the 2024 election. Despite the skepticism, the mechanics of the panel's eventual ruling remain unclear, and the case against Trump remains frozen as the legal process unfolds.
