Trump's Desperate Attempts to Delay Election Case and Appeal Immunity Ruling
TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump is appealing a ruling that found he is not immune from criminal prosecution in a case where he is charged with plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Trump's lawyers have filed a notice of appeal and requested a pause in the case while the appeals court considers his immunity claim. However, the rejection of Trump's immunity claims in a separate case suggests he faces an uphill battle. The D.C. Circuit and the Supreme Court could quickly resolve the immunity question if they choose to do so. Trump is facing multiple criminal cases, and this appeal could potentially delay the trial.
