"Trump to Fight Election Interference Charges in Appeals Court"

Former President Donald Trump has announced that he will attend arguments before a three-judge panel in Washington to challenge whether he is shielded from federal criminal prosecution over alleged actions related to the 2020 election. Trump's legal team argues that the charges against him are unconstitutional because they target official acts he took as president, while the special counsel contends that Trump's legal theory could allow presidents to commit crimes to remain in office. The outcome of the appeal could potentially derail the charges brought by special counsel Jack Smith, and the case is currently on hold as the immunity question is considered by higher courts.
