Several legal analysts have said that former President Donald Trump’s appeal he has presidential immunity may be the best chance of staving off his 2020 election trial.
In multiple filings in Washington, the former president’s attorneys have said he is immune from prosecution related to official actions he took as president. On Dec. 9, in submission to an appeals court, his attorneys wrote that he would appeal an earlier ruling handed down by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan in the election trial.
