In a sweeping, legal rebuke, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied Donald Trump's appeal for Immunity from Criminal Prosecution. At least temporarily. 

“For the purpose of this criminal case, former President Trump has become citizen Trump, with all of the defenses of any other criminal defendant,” the panel wrote.

“But any executive immunity that may have protected him while he served as president no longer protects him against this prosecution.”

Trump’s claim that he was immune from prosecution on charges of plotting to subvert the results of the 2020 election, means he must go to trial on a criminal indictment accusing him of seeking to overturn his loss to President Biden.

While this is a significant defeat, Trump is sure to Appeal to the Supreme Court.
