"Trump's Presidential Immunity Motion: A Losing Game"
Legal expert Joyce Vance describes former President Donald Trump's argument for presidential immunity as a delay tactic, as he is aware it is unlikely to succeed. Trump's legal team has filed a motion to dismiss the charges against him on immunity grounds and is urging the appeals court not to expedite the case. The timing of the federal election trial is crucial for Trump, as he hopes to delay proceedings until after the 2024 election. Experts suggest that if Trump wins the GOP primary and becomes the frontrunner, he could demand the Department of Justice end the investigation. Trump and his legal team have accused Special Counsel Jack Smith of "election interference" with the investigation.
