"Trump Advocates Total Immunity for Presidents' Actions, Regardless of Crossing the Line"

Former President Donald Trump suggested on Truth Social that presidents should have "FULL IMMUNITY" and be allowed to "cross the line" without facing legal consequences, as an appeals court considers whether he has immunity from criminal charges. Trump's attorney argued in court that presidents could even assassinate political rivals without being charged. The Justice Department strongly opposes Trump's expansive view of immunity, and the appeals court is expected to rule on his motion to dismiss the charges against him. Trump faces federal felony charges for trying to overturn the 2020 election and has used the "presidential immunity" defense in multiple cases, but courts have ruled against him so far.
