Donald Trump has condemned the ruling against his presidential immunity as prejudicial to anyone functioning within the office of President of the United States.
A federal appeals court issued the unanimous decision Tuesday, ruling that Trump does not have presidential immunity and therefore can face criminal charges based on his challenge of the 2020 election results, which cited reports of widespread election fraud. Ironically, Democrats recognize it is not illegal to question elections when they want to complain that elections they lost are illegitimate (like in 2016), but they invent criminal charges against the current GOP presidential frontrunner for doing the same thing. Trump and others argue the lawfare against him is “election interference.”
Trump first stated his opinion on Feb. 5 before the ruling on his Truth Social platform. “IF IMMUNITY IS NOT GRANTED TO A PRESIDENT, EVERY PRESIDENT THAT LEAVES OFFICE WILL BE IMMEDIATELY INDICTED BY THE OPPOSING PARTY,” he argued.
