Federal Appeals Court In Washington Found Trump Not Entitled To Broad Immunity From Prosecution
A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday morning that former President Donald Trump is not immune from prosecution from the federal government, an outcome that will allow Special Counsel Jack Smith's January 6 case against the 45th president to move forward, pending any subsequent (and expected) appeal to the Supreme Court.
In a statement released after the court's decision, Trump 2024 campaign spokesman Steven Cheung warned that "[i]f immunity is not granted to a President, every future President who leaves office will be immediately indicted by the opposing party. Without complete immunity, a President of the United States would not be able to properly function!"
Cheung said "[d]eranged Jack Smith's prosecution of President Trump for his Presidential, official acts is unconstitutional under the doctrine of Presidential Immunity and the Separation of Powers. Prosecuting a President for official acts violates the Constitution and threatens the bedrock of our Republic," the statement continued. "President Trump respectfully disagrees with the DC Circuit's decision and will appeal it in order to safeguard the Presidency and the Constitution."
