TL;DR Summary

A US court has ruled that former President Donald Trump does not have presidential immunity and can be prosecuted on charges related to the 2020 election. Trump had claimed immunity from criminal charges for acts within his duties as president, but the ruling in Washington DC struck down that claim. Trump is expected to appeal the ruling, and the case could ultimately go to the Supreme Court. Special Counsel Jack Smith has charged Trump with conspiring to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election and committing fraud to stay in office.
