"Trump Asserts Presidents Must Have Full Immunity from Prosecution"

Former President Donald Trump asserts that U.S. presidents must have "complete and total presidential immunity" in a post on Truth Social, as he awaits a ruling from a federal appeals court on his claim of immunity in the federal election interference case against him. The court is expected to issue a ruling that could allow the trial to proceed or leave some issues unresolved, with the possibility of the case ultimately reaching the Supreme Court. Trump argues that his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his involvement in the January 6, 2021, insurrection were part of his presidential responsibilities, despite lack of evidence of widespread fraud.
