"Former US Attorney Exposes Fatal Flaw in Trump's Total Immunity Claim"
TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump's claim of presidential immunity from criminal charges related to the US Capitol riot has been criticized by legal analysts, who argue that no former officeholder is immune from indictment and punishment. Trump's legal team recently appealed a judge's ruling that he cannot cite immunity as a defense. Former US Attorney Joyce Vance believes the appeals court will reject Trump's arguments, emphasizing that it should not be normal protocol for presidents to have immunity from crimes or alleged crimes.
