"Trump's Impeachment Defense Haunts Him in Immunity Case and Constitutional Crisis"

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump's lawyer argued in an appeals court hearing that he should be immune from criminal prosecution for actions while in office unless Congress had already impeached and convicted him. However, two judges noted that Trump's impeachment lawyers argued the opposite in 2021, stating that a former president should face the courts, not impeachment proceedings. This discrepancy could have significant implications for Trump, who is facing multiple criminal cases as he runs for the presidency again.
