YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Donald Trump urged the US Supreme Court to declare him immune from criminal prosecution for trying to overturn the 2020 election results, pressing arguments aimed at avoiding trial before voters go to the polls in November.

In a 52-page filing, Trump’s lawyers contended he can’t be charged because he was acting in his official capacity as president during the lead-up to the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol assault.

“A denial of criminal immunity would incapacitate every future president with de facto blackmail and extortion while in office, and condemn him to years of post-office trauma at the hands of political opponents,” Trump’s legal team argued.
