"Federal Appeals Court Denies Trump Immunity, Impact on 2020 Election"

TL;DR
A federal appeals court has ruled that Donald Trump is not immune from prosecution for alleged crimes committed during his presidency, rejecting his arguments for immunity and stating that the public interest in holding a potentially criminal president accountable outweighs any potential "chilling effect" on the presidency. The court described Trump's alleged behavior as an assault on American institutions and emphasized the public interest in letting the trial move forward. Trump has pledged to appeal to the Supreme Court, but the ruling has already led to the postponement of his trial.
