Trump’s immunity is rejected by Biden-appointed judges on a federal appeals court in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case, which was filed on January 6.
Trump plans to swiftly file an appeal with the US Supreme Court in an effort to overturn the DC Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision.

The trial scheduled for March 4 in Jack Smith’s DC case has been rescheduled in the interim.
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals’ three-judge panel—Filipina Pan, a Biden appointee; Michelle Childs, a Biden appointee; and Karen Henderson, a George W. Bush appointee—ruled on Trump immunity claims.
“We have balanced former President Trump’s asserted interests in executive immunity against the vital public interests that favor allowing this prosecution to proceed,” the three-judge panel wrote.
“We conclude that ‘concerns of public policy, especially as illuminated by our history and the structure of our government’ compel the rejection of his claim of immunity in this case,” they wrote.
Arguing on Trump’s behalf, his attorneys assert that he is immune from federal prosecution for any ‘crimes’ he may have committed while in office.
“In 234 years of American history, no president ever faced criminal prosecution for his official acts. Until 19 days ago, no court had ever addressed whether immunity from such prosecution exists,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in last month’s filing, according to CBS News. “To this day, no appellate court has addressed it. The question stands among the most complex, intricate, and momentous issues that this Court will be called on to decide.”
During the January 9 oral arguments, a panel of three judges expressed skepticism regarding Trump’s claims of immunity. A judge nominated by Biden even questioned if Trump could face legal action for giving SEAL Team 6 orders to kill his political opponents.

Just before the appeals court rules, Trump warns on social media about the dangers of taking away a president’s immunity.
“IF IMMUNITY IS NOT GRANTED TO A PRESIDENT, EVERY PRESIDENT THAT 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!” Trump said.
Using Truth Social, President Trump answered.
“A President of the United States must have Full Immunity in order to properly function and do what has to be done for the good of our Country. A Nation-destroying ruling like this cannot be allowed to stand. If not overturned, as it should be, this decision would terribly injure not only the Presidency, but the Life, Breath, and Success of our Country. A President will be afraid to act for fear of the opposite Party’s Vicious Retribution after leaving Office. I know from personal experience because I am going through it right now. It will become a Political Weapon used for Election Interference. Even our Elections will be corrupted and under siege. So bad, and so dangerous for our Nation. SAVE PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY!”
I dont undersrand, he didnt use the seals to kill his opponent but he did use them to kill the terrorist leader, so where did this bs come from? And why is it being said in that manner, at no time outta the 3 yrs dumbass has been trying to kill his opponents, byt thats ok by the DC judges. Why do we even allow DC to exist in our country? When its has nothing to actually do wuth the USA & it only deals wuth the corporation not our country, 2 different things alm together. I say get rid of DC & solve most of our problems
